Brian MacKay
Program Director and Certified Scrum Master

I was fortunate enough to work with Robert on a number of projects during my time at Threespot. On every project Robert always lead the creative team to produce excellent designs and user experiences. Robert has an amazing sense of good design, especially within the digital realm. It was a pleasure working with Robert and I highly recommend him for a Creative Director or any similar position.

Bob was a great team member to work with at the NFL. He led projects collaborating with many departments including client services, research, product and creative teams to uncover how we could better enhance the fan experience. He is incredibly passionate, reliable and a great big-picture thinker - a pleasure to work with!

Research Leader & Strategist | Certified Coach

Bob is an experienced designer who can distill complex problems into simple design solutions. This ability comes from his appreciation of the value of research in design. He doesn't view research as an inconvenience or a box to be checked, but rather, as an integral component of the process. This approach is at the heart of all of his work. His designs reveal a keen awareness of user tasks, the ability to construct workflows that feel effortless, and the strategic use of contextual cues. In Bob's work, everything is done with care. This is no coincidence as empathy for the user is a primary concern for Bob. Before he begins any project, he plans and executes some form of research (either in collaboration with a researcher or on his own) to gather preliminary information, verify assumptions, and later, to test his designs.

I found Bob's insights into visual communication to be quite helpful whenever we needed to map experiences to visualize data. He frequently presented me with alternative solutions and challenged me to think and see differently, pushing me to think outside of the box. What more would a researcher ask for? If I were stranded on a UX island with only one person to pick as my sidekick, I'd pick Bob. He is an outstanding colleague with whom it is easy to embark on challenging initiatives.

Experience Designer - Over 20 years dedicated to crafting and delivering top-tier, human-centered design solutions

Robert has always been at the forefront of design and technology. In college, he demonstrated a high degree of expertise working with computers and troubleshooting various issues in the computer lab. These skills integrated well with his passion and ability to design. Fifteen years later and he still continues to build upon these skills and prove himself as an effective strategist and visual communicator. I certainly would recommend him to design, define and develop any creative vision.

Robert was the Creative Director on a fantastic team, wherein I was the Account Director. Robert was a partner in the truest sense of the word. He is a strategic Creative Director who drives the "big picture", not only leading "cutting edge" thought and ideation within the digital world, he is tapped into the clients' industry, at a profound level, as well. To this day, if I want a brilliant idea for a client, I think of Robert.
