  • It was incredibly enjoyable to have Johnson in class. He was always looking for ways to continue learning and stayed proactive throughout and after the course. Johnson is a thoughtful problem solver that challenges conventional wisdom when they need to be challenged. He is not afraid to ask questions and is very comfortable applying new concepts to elevate his work. I had the pleasure of having multiple engaging and meaningful conversations with him and hope to continue doing so! I would recommend Johnson to anyone looking for someone that is hard working, self-driven, and a life-long learner.

  • I had the pleasure of working alongside Johnson for almost an entire academic year at UCLAx. During our first project together, what initially stuck out to me was his passion for the field of User Experience and his drive to master concepts we were working through. I'd be hard-pressed to think of anybody more determined to see things through or more willing to invest the extra time ensuring a job gets done the right way than Johnson. Always the first to pick team members up and laser focused on process, details, and (most importantly!) users, his motivation for creating research-driven solutions is infectious. Johnson has made me a better, more well-rounded designer – I have no doubt that he will excel in the field and play a huge role for his next team.

  • Johnson sets an extraordinary example on what a young professional is supposed to be. Johnson and I were Financial Analysts for the Cal Fire-Mendocino Unit. Our work entailed acting as technical advisors to senior staff on all fiscal matters including: monitoring the operating budget, preparing proposals, analyzing spending trends, and much more. Over the past year, I learned Johnson is an excellent communicator. He provided innovative ideas and recommendations which improved functuality within the Unit. Working alongside Johnson I learned something new every day, which made work fun and interesting. Johnson would be an excellent candidate and I believe his strong character will shine through the first time meeting him.

  • Johnson worked under my supervision as a Staff Services Analyst for CAL FIRE Mendocino Unit. Johnson is a talented individual who worked diligently, and was very well liked by his coworkers. His drive, passion, and commitment to the people of the state of California is to be commended. I highly recommend him to any prospective employer who may get the opportunity to make him a part of their team.
