Some designers talk a good game— high theory, little execution.

Shane ships product. He gets it.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Shane as he drove a full product line through two manufacturing partners and dozens of stakeholders to a successful launch of super high quality hardware. It took open, proactive, crossfunctional collaboration, a nearly demonic attention to detail, and persistence— all strong points for Shane. He represents design interests with real respect and curiosity, which makes him both easy to work with and persuasive. Unsurprisingly, he’s also a nice person with real integrity. He’s too conscientious to be interested in shortcuts.

Strongly recommend.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Shane on two pivotal projects at Cisco: the definition of a new design language and a groundbreaking product exploration. I saw firsthand his unique blend of collaborative spirit and complete autonomy.

Shane's ability to quickly generate a high volume of concepts during the early stages of a project is truly impressive. His ability to move from high-speed concept generation to meticulous detailing, producing stunning visualizations and renderings in a short time, makes him a versatile and highly effective designer. He has an exceptional eye for detail, elevating designs to the next level while considering all factors, including manufacturability.

I've seen him successfully drive entire projects from start to finish, working closely with suppliers to deliver some of our most sold products. He consistently delivers iconic, recognizable products. Shane is an outstanding designer and a valuable asset to any team.

I had the pleasure of working with Shane for four years at Cisco, and I was continually impressed by his depth of knowledge—not just of the company, but of the broader industry landscape as well. He brings both strategic insight and practical know-how to every discussion, which makes him an invaluable contributor.

Equally important, Shane is a natural collaborator. He approaches teamwork with genuine enthusiasm, always eager to support colleagues and move projects forward together. His combination of expertise and team-oriented mindset makes him a trusted partner.

I highly recommend Shane to any team looking for a knowledgeable, collaborative, and forward-thinking professional.

I worked with Shane for several years, collaborating on a suite of products where he was the Lead Industrial Designer. He has outstanding design vision, attention to detail, and mechanical design knowledge which ensures his design concepts easily move into the production phase. He excels at cross-functional collaboration and is an all-around nice person to work with as well.

I highly recommend Shane!

Shane is a skilled designer with experience developing high quality products from concept to production release. I collaborate with Shane during my time at Cisco, and was impressed with his commitment, attention to detail, creative problem solving, and his ability to work effectively within project teams. He is comfortable working with engineering and development partners to find the best possible product solutions, and demonstrated strong leadership skills managing design goals and priorities in projects.
It was a pleasure to work with Shane and I highly recommend him.

I worked closely with Shane for many years at Cisco. What stands out most to me is his composure under pressure, skills navigating trade-offs (and providing clever cost-cutting solutions), and extensive experience working with overseas suppliers and manufacturers. He also isn’t the type to wait for problems to escalate and is proactive in noticing and addressing potential concerns.

Shane is a valuable addition to any design team and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again!
