I worked with and taught Lars for at least three years. He's a bright, imaginative and thoughtful designer. With an eternally positive disposition, I and others who worked with Lars found him consistently to be a pleasure to work with. I recommend him.

Lars is smart, self-driven, respectful, and fun to work with. Being an independent, professional contributor is important . . . He has the ability to empathize with the user, which is quality I always look for in designers because that is a skill that is more difficult to train.

Lars has a thirst for work and education . . . In addition to doing quality work very quickly, Lars is always looking to keep up with the most recent industry trends. Lars is calm and collected under pressure, and I would be glad to have him be a part of any team.

Lars is a true thought leader ... He propelled our teams to successful and timely delivery to the delight of leadership and ultimately our customers. What I like most about Lars is how personable and patient he is when working through iterative planning-always listening and finding the right user experience to fit challenging use cases.

Three words I would use to describe Lars - thorough, collaborative and innovative. Serving with Lars on the Board of the UXPA in Kansas City, I've seen a consistency in his ability to work in the detail, with others as part of a team and to push for, research and develop new ideas and into new areas of growth. I highly recommend Lars as a professional.

Lars is a skilled and thoughtful designer with a keen eye for usability. He isn't afraid to jump into complex problems and always asks clarifying questions... Lars brings strong design skills via owning the end-to-end design process, collaborating cross-functionally with peers, connecting with users to perform design research, and thinking systematically about his design solutions. Any team would be lucky to have him.
