ABOUT
Relentless Curiosity
I love learning new things. Whether its skills or knowledge, there's always more to discover. Is there a better way to do this? What's really happening here? Why? Awareness and curiosity yield data points to imagine, empathize and understand.
Inspire & Be Inspired
Passion is contagious. Whether its connecting to users, collaborating with teammates, teaching my students, or informing stakeholders of what's at stake, I've seen the difference it makes to enjoy the journey with enthusiasm and integrity, to constantly explore the path of mastery.

TESTIMONIALS
"An outstanding addition to any design or research team."
"Jared is exceptional. I can't recommend him enough. As a student in the Masters of User Experience Design program at Thomas Jefferson University, he stood out for his extensive background in education, strong leadership skills, and relentless curiosity to explore course material beyond what was provided.
After graduation, I confidently recommended that he return, this time to teach our Research and Methodologies course. As an adjunct professor, Jared elevated the class by updating lecture materials and guiding students through the entire research process, ultimately enhancing both the research course and the program as a whole.
Working with Jared over the years has been a pleasure, and I’m delighted to recommend him again. He would be an outstanding addition to any design or research team."
Mike Begley, Senior Experience Consultant at EPAM, Asst. Director at Thomas Jefferson University

"I've had the pleasure of having Jared as a graduate student and then as an adjunct professor on my teaching team. I can't recommend him enough! His grasp of the UX design process is exceptional and he demonstrates an ability to thoroughly research complex problems. Additionally, he's incredible in the classroom with students so certainly able to lead groups, offer consulting, and mentor others. I'll always take advantage of opportunities to collaborate with Jared!"
