“Tim is an exceptional collaborator and thought leader in interaction and product design. I have partnered with Tim on a variety of projects and products at Yahoo!, and I'm always impressed with his creativity, technical innovation, and thoroughness. Tim has the ability to come up with great big-picture concepts and see them through to the nitty gritty specs and interaction details. One of Tim's greatest strengths is his ability to connect with all roles on a product team - including design, product management, marketing and development - and create a synergy that enables all functional roles to communicate and work together toward a cohesive vision. Last but not at all least, Tim is one of the most outgoing, funny and upbeat people I get to work with, and he makes everyone's day in the office feel more like fun than work.”
