“Shaun has been BY FAR my favorite manager to work with over the past year and is an exceptional designer, leader, and product person for any team. As Head of Design at Cana, Shaun lead product design on our device, web, and mobile platforms. He pushed the team to iterate quickly on vague product direction to gather feedback quickly from stakeholders and ensure that our decisions were based on solid HCI principles. He focuses on defining the problem with product and leads the team in iterating on designs for MVP as well as post-MVP vision so engineering can consider how to execute for the current sprints as well the next set of improvements. Shaun organized reviews of the design, product requirements, and prototypes with engineering before execution and worked with his team to QA the work, file visual and interaction bugs, and pushed all of our teams to execute at a higher quality threshold. Shaun is as adept as a design lead as he is as a manager. He is ready to jump in the file and iterate with his team to explore potential solutions, and knows when to encourage junior designers to iterate to flex their own decision-making process and supportive reasoning. Shaun provided effective feedback and pushed me to come to a flexible and simple Customizations system, collaborated with me on defining Cana’s Creator Studio and pour experience, all while art directing and designing artwork for 35+ beverage brands across nearly 200 beverages. Shaun also leans into new technology, embracing prompt writing for Dall-E-2 and Stable Diffusion to help generate brand assets quickly that aligned with our beverage strategy. Shaun also worked to quickly iterate and present novel ways of browsing the catalog, like the Tastemaker and Infinite Aisle, while still mentoring my work on Creator Studio. Working with Shaun day-to-day is a joy and has made me a better designer. He is always optimistic, focused on execution, and takes the time to understand the concerns and goals of his direct reports so he can support them and align them with the organization's OKRs. Shaun identified and worked with me to improve my organization of ideas and design work as well as my presentation of my design work. He also mentored me in being purposeful with what you say and when you say it to drive alignment and product vision. I’d highly, HIGHLY recommend working with Shaun as he is an ALL STAR at applying design thinking, interaction principles, and leading cross-functional teams at both nimble start-ups and mature organizations.”
