“Jeremy is an exceptional design leader: thoughtful, grounded, and experienced. He brings strong instincts to everything from hiring and team building to navigating product decisions and stakeholder management. As a manager, he strikes that balance between setting a high bar and creating a supportive, mentoring environment where designers can grow.

Jeremy offers feedback that’s helpful and constructive. His approach helps teams elevate their work while building confidence and trust. He has a calm, mature presence that brings stability, and his ability to guide both junior and senior designers through ambiguity is a huge asset.

I've loved having Jeremy on my team. He's the kind of person you hope to work with more than once!”

Nate Evans

Director of Product, ArbiterSports

Product Partner

“I have worked with many people, but few more closely than Jeremy Bird. Jeremy revolutionized UX at ArbiterSports. His designs and, more importantly, his processes are here to stay.

His first objective when he arrived was to get to know customers, to talk to them, to ask questions, and to be a good listener. And he turned that understanding into truly great designers that jumped our product forward 20 years! It's a great legacy to leave.”

Direct Report

“While Jeremy was my manager at The Home Depot, he led our team in delivering many successful experiences & significantly improved our workflow. One aspect of Jeremy’s leadership that stands out is his dedication to creating a collaborative & inclusive work environment. This encouraged designers to adopt a growth mindset, resulting in greater stability & confidence.

Jeremy's professionalism & passion for UX were evident in everything he did. He genuinely cared about the well-being of his team & often went above & beyond to support and mentor us. In terms of management style, Jeremy was supportive without being overbearing. He was approachable, personable, led by example, & inspired the team to perform at their best. I learned a lot under his management & count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him.”

Recruiting Partner

“I have had the privilege of working with Jeremy on both sides of the desk as his recruiting partner. This rare perspective on Jeremy's partnership I want to use as a testament to Jeremy's communication style, and leadership methodology. Jeremy is human-centered and it's clear to see because of his actions. Jeremy always communicates with me proactively whether it is about his own journey joining our team or hiring for Jeremy directly to grow his team — the level of partnership here is what Talent Acquisition looks for in a candidate as well as a true Hiring partnership. Jeremy carries a wealth of knowledge and experience within UX and I'm lucky to work with such an amazing leader! If you are contemplating working with Jeremy in any capacity, I encourage you to not hesitate!”
