“One of the highlights of my professional career has been to partner with Tyler. An exquisitely intuitive, reflective, and passionate leader, I had the pleasure of partnering with him on multiple occasions to fuse his rich creative abilities into leadership, team building, communication, and organization.
A gifted creative, communicator, and leader, I had such a wonderful time working the Tyler. Whether it was an afternoon tea to connect, deep conversations on tapping into inner joy (a.k.a "joy spring"), or coordinating launch dates, I found myself with someone who is incredibly present, curious, and fun.
I would absolutely work with Tyler again given the chance to do so.”

“I worked with Tyler as he was managing the creation of a design system to power Trimble's many digital websites and products.
I consulted with Tyler and his team along their design system journey, and am super impressed with the work they produced. Trimble's design system, Terra, is thoughtful, flexible, and themeable. I have no doubts that Terra will bring consistency and cohesion to Trimble's digital products, and will continue to serve as a solid design and technical foundation to build upon for years to come.
Kudos to Tyler and the Trimble team for producing such an amazing product!”
