I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Patrick over the past few years, and I can confidently say he is one of those rare design leaders who combines strategic problem-solving with a commitment to collaboration and growth. Patrick has an incredible ability to break down complex challenges, not just finding solutions but ensuring everyone around him understands the “why” behind them. His storytelling skills bring clarity and alignment, turning ideas into compelling narratives.

 

Whether it’s guiding teams through tough decisions or advocating for the right solution, Patrick's approach always puts purpose first. He is selfless in asking for feedback and remains focused on what can make the best experience for the customer.

 

Beyond his design thinking and user-centric approach, he also looks for areas to improve the people and processes around him, identifying opportunities to stretch beyond what might be typically expected in someone in a design role. This team-first approach "lifts all boats" and helps us function more effectively and efficiently as a team. His impact extends far beyond the immediate work; he leaves teams stronger, more capable, and more connected.
