American Express, Director of Product Design, Global Mobile App and Web

He can process complex workflows and simplify them into clean, clear, and delightful journeys. From understanding the business case, to generating unique concepts, to working through all of the details of the design - Levi does it all. I had the pleasure of working with Levi for 5 years on the design team at Sony and I was constantly impressed and inspired by his work. To top it all off - he is incredibly nice, thoughtful, and supportive. He’s absolutely wonderful collaborating with and always fun to be around. He is a great asset to any team and I look forward to working with him again one day.
