Testimonials from Past Colleagues
I had the pleasure of working with Chevis at Solara for over a year, much of that time as his direct manager.
Chevis is an excellent Product Designer who consistently met and exceeded expectations. He worked on various parts of the product, notably taking the initiative on the homepage and API documentation redesign. He effectively handled complex challenges and consistently delivered high-quality results. His strong understanding of user needs and his focus on impactful features rather than just flashy designs made him stand out.
In Solara’s fast-paced startup environment, Chevis’s adaptability and eagerness to contribute wherever possible were invaluable. He was always willing to step up and take on new tasks, demonstrating a great capacity for learning and growth. Beyond his professional skills, Chevis brought positive energy and a collaborative spirit to the team, making him a joy to work with and fostering a positive work environment.
I highly recommend Chevis. His exceptional design skills, strong work ethic, and positive attitude would be a valuable asset to any team.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Chevis at Vierra, where he not only served as the designer but also the Project Lead when I joined the team. Chevis impressed me right off the bat with his leadership skills, and dedication to elevating our product to its best potential. For the dashboard
What sets Chevis apart is his ability to seamlessly transition between fast iterations on a prototype together with engineers and ensure that every pixel finds its perfect place. This makes him an invaluable asset for any team aspiring to deliver exceptional products.

Role at Vierra: Engineering Manager
Chevis studied user research at George Mason University before I hired him as an intern. He’s an extremely loyal, likeable, bright, and skilled product designer.
His superpower is his empathy with users, and a unique talent to combine that with his skills for interface design. He’s incredibly curious and always wants to learn more and dig deeper. His work on our marketing site is impressive and really surprised me at the time.
Chevis is incredibly fun to work with, his energy level is nuts.
