own words.

"I've worked closely with Ed since early 2023 across brand, product, UX/UI and our investor-facing materials.

One of the things I value most about working with Ed is that you can bring him a problem before you necessarily know what the solution should look like. I've gone to him with questions that weren't purely design questions, including how something should be built or whether we even needed a particular platform, and he will think it through and come back with a clear recommendation rather than simply presenting a list of options.

He also works incredibly quickly. Ed consistently turns work around faster than I expect, while still maintaining a very high standard.

On top of the day-to-day design work, Ed has taken ownership of the design system that keeps our brand and materials consistent across products and markets. It's the kind of work that often goes unnoticed when it's being done well, but makes a huge difference across the group.

Ed has become someone I can rely on to take an idea or problem, work through it, and turn it into something practical, well-designed and ready to move forward." — Ashley Jessen

"Ed is a star, full stop. On two separate occasions in a relatively brief period, Ed impressed me; 1) in delivering a presentation and slides for a speech I was to deliver on ACY's 15th Anniversary Gala evening in Jordan among politicians and dignitaries. Ed demonstrated poise and patience not to mention a natural skill in media and design which was beyond me. Suffice it to say I would not have been able to send the msg to the distinguished audience before me on the evening if it weren't for Ed and his team.

2) On my brief visit to our Taipei office, once again Ed demonstrated that he was up for any challenge; within minutes he was able to transform the entire ACY Connect institutional website to portray a far more professional, reputable partner. It only took a few words from me for Ed to know exactly what was needed. This is a natural skill that is hard to come by and I would recommend any and all to consider working with Ed if ever given the chance." — Phil Kim

Exceptional resource integration and decisiveness. Ed demonstrates a highly proactive management style. Throughout the design process he identifies team needs and provides constructive solutions and resource support at critical moments. Under his guidance the design team established a highly efficient communication framework, significantly shortening the cycle from conceptualization to final execution.

Stakeholder recognition and high-quality deliverables. Under Ed's leadership our team's output and business impact consistently exceeded expectations, earning high praise from the Head of Product. He aligned design value with core product goals, elevating the design team's influence within the company.

Forward-thinking leadership in AI transformation. Ed pioneered team transformation — proactively introducing AI-assisted design tools and learning resources, optimizing workflows while keeping every team member at the forefront of the technology.

A culture of empowerment, trust, and talent development. Ed cultivated a passionate, selfless team culture, consistently empowering members with opportunities to lead new projects — favouring empowerment over micromanagement.

"Working with Ed has been a genuine highlight. As a UI/UX designer he brings something rare to the table: exceptional taste, technical creativity, and an almost unsettling ability to ship beautiful work fast. Ed has been at the forefront of using AI to accelerate and elevate the creative process — not in a way that cuts corners, but in a way that amplifies his already strong design sensibility.

The results speak for themselves: clean, compelling, and crafted with care. What I appreciate most is how Ed's presence genuinely lifts the aesthetic standard of everything around him. Products look better. Flows feel smoother. The bar rises. If your company is serious about design quality — and you should be — Ed is exactly who you want in your corner."
