Work that speaks for itself
From founders, PMs, and stakeholders I've worked with
Working with Drake over the past year has been a really positive experience for our product team. He helped us take important steps forward in our design maturity, from introducing a new design system to improving the usability and consistency across several core feature areas. The attention to detail and ability to collaborate effectively with our team made the process smooth and productive.
Pete Lawrence
Sr. Product Manager
Drake is a first-class designer and is absolutely phenomenal to work with. Drake came in and immediately hit the ground running, understanding our business not only from what was needed from a UI/UX perspective but also a deep understanding of the use cases and the customer experience that we wanted to deliver. He is able to work with both business and engineering, seamlessly moving between both audiences.
Darren Thomas
Co-founder & CPO
Drake joined my team at Area23 and quickly became one of our most trusted partners and go to designers. He combines sharp product thinking with clean, thoughtful user experience and polished visual designs, and he’s always focused on solving the right problem, not just shipping screens. He collaborates seamlessly with project managers, dev, and stakeholders, communicates clearly, and delivers on time—even under shifting priorities. Drake was beloved by my team of fellow designers as well as other departments within AREA23.
Indrajeet Chandrachud
Associate Director
Drake helped us wrangle our B2B SaaS application as we crossed the $10M ARR milestone. He did wonders to help standardize our design language, gradually update our screens in a way that felt coherent, and make the handoff process dramatically easier on our frontend team with tokens and variables. Frontend development has never been smoother thanks to his work.
