“Anton is who you want on your team. A skillful and strategic designer, he can get into the weeds without losing sight of the bigger picture. In fact, he's probably thinking two steps ahead. Even though he could brag about his impressive UX credentials, he never does—in fact, his humility and good humor just make him an even better person to work with. If you have the chance to collaborate with Anton, seize it.”

"Outrageously good. Few people have Anton’s eye for details. I have hired Anton for several projects ranging from brand strategy, UX/UI makeovers to complete designs. He has always delivered top notch, stellar work. I was deeply impressed by his ability to take an overly complex user interface and make it easy to use in just a few steps. You can easily tell that his decade of acquired knowledge in design and usability makes him stand out among other UX experts. It’s always reassuring to know he is on your side no matter what design project you have."
