Recommendations
“I worked with Osiris on U.S. Bank's design system, and I would highly recommend working with him! He's a pro at understanding complex problems and creating imaginative solutions. He can take on research and ideation as well as technical implementation. One of my favorite things about having Osiris on the team was his natural skill as a connector. As a connector, he brings others along throughout his process to reach higher levels of output and a stronger team culture. He brings people together and brings up the whole team through his openness and collaboration. He connects people and also concepts from the forefront of the industry he's working in to inspire others and move the team forward.“

Sr Design System Manager, VP, U.S. Bank
“Osiris is one of the most creative, talented and passionate individuals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is the total package: a defender of design principles, a usability scholar, a champion for his team, and an open-minded collaborator. He is a strong leader and teacher, an analytical thinker, and a problem solver. While working with Osiris I was constantly impressed by his production talent and ability to understand and execute big picture business goals using creative strategy and skillful design. He was our voice of reason when people were freaking out about changing timelines, and the voice of fun and inspiration when we were losing steam. Anyone would be lucky to have Osiris on their project in any capacity.”

“Osiris is unshakably ambitious by nature and one of the most incredibly intelligent, talented, and dependable people I've ever worked with. He can quickly learn new systems and business objectives and then produce strategies and detailed solutions that create significant value. He articulates his vision in a comprehensive yet easy-to-digest manner… A big example is how he advocated for and drove organizational impact with design thinking. His role was unique here, as he founded and lead the design, marketing, development, & analytics teams, founded our experience and human behavior lab focused on our retail experiences, digitalized our regulatory processes (ex. erp systems, POS, cultivation), and additionally drove innovation by improving processes and products across our verticals (ex. cultivation, manufacturing, retail, and distribution). Osiris has an incredible ability to navigate a lot of ambiguity within this rapidly changing industry (& situations) calmly, continuously adding value, both to the bottom line, operations, and culture. His gregarious personality is contagious; making him a joy to be around while his straightforward, candidly honest, practical, and rational approach make him a great leader.”
