hi, nice to see you!

Tristan is an incredibly smart and adaptable person, who can take on any task that gets thrown at him. My time working with him was very enjoyable as I knew that I could depend on him to take the ball and run with it. From ideation to execution and even triage, Tristan is able to work independently or collaboratively to get results quickly and to a high quality standard.
Not only is Tristan a very competent and dependable coworker, but he is a wonderful person and fantastic friend. I greatly enjoyed my time working together and I consider him a great friend.

Tristan has been a positive force for equity and inclusion in our studio culture, and leader in the UI space across a variety of initiatives, ensuring that interdisciplinary collaboration, creative alignment, and technical execution were consistently surfaced as critical infrastructure in the UI/UX pipeline.
Individually, as I've gotten to know Tristan, it's been a joy to find in him not only a talented artist, but a friend and colleague who prioritizes an empathetic and authentic philosophy towards his engagements with those around him.

I can honestly say without hyperbole that Tristan was my favorite part of the team I was on when we worked together. His openness to take on larger and larger challenges, paired with his friendly and charming nature, make him a dream team partner to work with. He would constantly impress me when revealing his skills only to find out he had just jumped into the deep end on a new system or tool software just a few days prior and was simply making it look easy. 10 out of 10 would love to work with him again.

2022-2023
Not only is Tristan a joy to work alongside, quick with ideas and equally quick to pivot. He constantly acts on his desire to bring exactly what the team needs in that moment from of his work and is patient and inviting for others to do the same.
Never pushy, never negative, and always excited about the next glimpse of the human experience, "T" brings the same enthusiasm to his craft as he does to his studio. I'm always on the lookout for those people who I would drag along with me to any project, and he make that list without a second thought -- not just because I know he can deliver on a prompt and make quick adjustments -- because the energy he gifts to the company culture on the floor day in and day out is radiant and infectious.
