“I worked with Justin for almost 4 years at Jostle. As a member of the marketing/brand team, we relied heavily on Justin's talents and ideas to help us create and complete our marketing assets and campaigns. This ranged from artwork for our blog to full blog redesign, to e-books, to trade show booth materials - and pretty much everything else in between! I appreciated Justin's candour and creativity. He made me think about things differently, and consider a better way to move forward. His knowledge and appreciation of design principles, helped me gain a deeper understanding of the user/audience impact of our branded materials. Justin is a passionate, dedicated, and sensitive human, who will bring the utmost of care to every project, team, or business that he aligns with. As a graduate of Jostle's 12-month leadership program, he has demonstrated the capacity for deeper self-awareness, humility, and openness to improve. I'll miss Justin's many and varied contributions to our team. His new team will be fortunate to have someone who isn't afraid to speak their mind, and make the team stronger in doing so.”

“Justin moved our design process into the digital world and better aligned with our SW development team. I learnt a lot from his diligence ensuring that a design focus on accomplishing the user's end goals in the most straight forward and easily discovered way possible. Justin will bring great design to whatever projects he ends up working on. I wish him luck in his new endeavours.”

Bruce Milton

”Justin is a fantastic and flexible designer. I have enjoyed working and collaborating with him for 5+ years…I have always been incredibly impressed with Justin’s ability to bring a design from concept to completion all while gathering consensus, balancing implementation concerns against product goals and always maintaining a high level of polish in the presentation. A relaxed and genuinely interested individual, Justin seems to get along with virtually everyone; he would be a great fit for any team.”

“I worked closely with Justin for about 4 years at Jostle. I always appreciated his honesty and transparency when it came to discussing new ideas. He is very cognizant of the overall customer experience at all times which allows him to create user experiences that our customers enjoy. From contributing blog images, to creating landing pages to designing major aspects of Jostle's platform, Justin contributed a lot in the time I worked with him. I'd be happy to work with him again and definitely recommend him highly.”
