Best-In-Class Design Leadership
Product Strategy, Design & AI-Powered Innovation
While most of my client reviews are NDA-protected (because, you know, top-secret agency white label stuff), I managed to sneak in a few favorites from my previous partners.
Jay is one in a million. This is a leader who inspires big ideas and has the ability to coordinate all the cross-functional teams required to build them. I have witnessed Jay’s top-notch workshopping abilities, bringing together the right blend of perspectives and distilling OKRs, guiding ‘How Might We’ discussions, and synthesizing the complex needs of the business with Design, Product, and Dev.
Jon Santana
IX Group Lead,Director at Kaiser Permanente
Jay was my UX Lead for care delivery at Kaiser, and an absolute joy to work with. He made an immediate impact upon joining, despite the complexity and breadth of the product area, which included anything related to accessing care (member landing page, scheduling, medical history, pharmacy, etc.).
Veronica Seo
Head of Product, Consumer Health at Truepill
Jay is one of the most significant mentors I’ve had the privilege of working with in my career for several reasons.
First and foremost, he always believed in me. He believed in my ability grow as a leader and work through difficult problems.
Pamela Morejón
Product Design Manager at Collective Health
Jay has been the key to my success in my UX journey thus far, and I cannot emphasize that enough. The heart of service in Jay is what makes him a passionate mentor and designer. The way Jay values human-centered design is not only evident in his digital work/products, but also in the way he interacts with people.
Shiela Prado
UX Designer/Researcher and Product Designer
I worked with Jay Trainer as my mentor during my career transition into UI/UX design. Knowing nothing about the field, I was incredibly nervous. From our first call, he was engaged and provided great feedback for my work. He helped me begin thinking like a designer and all of that effort resulted in 3 strong portfolio pieces.
