He is very easy to approach with questions or concerns, he gives you his attention and time to help you find a good solution. He is a great asset to any team he works with, he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and a willingness to help others learn more and strengthen their own expertise on the design principles and user experience design as a whole.
Sue Tess – UX Designer, Fiserv
Lyle and I started together at the Home Depot on the same day. Seeing what he has been able to accomplish over the last three years has been inspiring. He created and developed a design system to aid in the enterprise transformation, resulting in drastic usability and learnability achievements across mobile and desktop devices. Over 300 designers and developers have used elements from the style guide within their applications. The research around each component and the attention to detail has greatly enhanced my own ability to quickly deliver high fidelity prototypes, enabling us to move extremely fast. Lyle is a very talented and experienced designer I would be happy to work with again.
Tamlin Tromp – UX Researcher, The Home Depot

His depth of experience across many aspects of building web sites is advantageous in the business environment. Lyle is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him!
Jennifer Brumbaugh – Director of User Experience, AT&T
Lyle is one of the best UX designers I have ever had the pleasure to work with! Creative, passionate and a dynamic UX thought leader, Lyle demonstrated great versatility and adaptability not only a designer but also as a leader in his role as UI Solutions leader at AT&T. In this role, he managed a group of UI solutions Architects (UX Developers/Prototypers) and was extremely effective in enabling his team to realize the designs he was producing based on UX research data. Further, taking a ‘requirements visualization’ approach, he was able to guide his team to produce quick solutions to UX problems as well as create innovative solutions for communicating UX research to the wider organization. Lyle has a great sense of humor and always relishes a challenge – I would highly recommend Lyle!
Daniel Bruneau – Director of User Experience, AT&T
When working with Lyle, I knew I was in good hands. He is great at listening to what the intended goal of a product or feature was attempting to accomplish, and then providing options on various designs to achieve those results. Lyle is very collaborative and open to constructive feedback to help drive out the final solutions. I never had to worry that Lyle didn’t have data to back up the different design offerings as well. There was always a calculated action behind a container or placement location which allowed me to make an educated decision on which final skin to go with for the UI experience on the site.
Will Rowe – Product Manager, AT&T
For running a project, Lyle is the best team lead I had in my career. He has very good background on the web design. Except the design field, He also has very strong sense on the cut edge web development technology. To be a developer when I was working with him, I always have the chance to develop web pages which I am proud of. Lyle also is good on the management. He communicated clearly to be a manager. He has very strong connections with his peers. He also has good relationship with leaderships. All of these make me feel I was in a good management situation. Not too tight and not too loose either. Clear future I can see and I could get real help when I need.
It is a very nice experience to work with him.

Lyle is an absolute joy to work with!
Jaeyeon Lee – UX Designer, The Home Depot
In 2014, I had the absolute privilege of joining the UI Solutions Group at AT&T under Lyle’s leadership. This was a real “think-out-of-the-box” kind of group; as it reflected the characteristics of it’s leader. We were mostly autonomous and had the collective skill set to tackle just about anything. It takes a unique person to win the respect and lead a group like this. And Lyle definitely had the leadership abilities to do it.
He exuded confidence as well as the knowledge and skill we needed. Lyle always listened first, then offered suggestions. He motivated and brought us all together as a team with all our different backgrounds. Lyle was constantly teaching as well as learning. But most of all, he had the confidence and awareness to step back and let us step up.
This is a true leader. Lyle is more than just an asset to a company; he is a “next-level” kind of guy. Someone I’d be proud to follow anytime.
Don Bahlman – UX Designer, AT&T
Lyle is a level-headed leader who excels at envisioning and bringing innovative ideas to life. While working together on the B2B persona redesign project for AT&T, I was continually impressed with Lyle’s design direction, positive attitude, strong work ethic, and wonderfully usable designs. Lyle was fantastic to work with and I would relish the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
Celeste Buckhalter Dammes – UX Researcher, AT&T
I worked for Lyle for several years within the Content Development Team at ATT. As a Manager/Team Lead Lyle always exuded the following rare qualities:

- Willing to roll up sleeves and actually aid in coding to help make deadlines.

Eric Whyte – Product Manager, AT&T
Lyle produced UX software for AT&T that blew me away. I knew he was an excellent designer, and he was my go-to reference for responsive web design, and any technical minutae that came up in my SEO work, but this was next-level. Lyle managed the design, development, and iterative improvement of a fully functional UX diary tool, built as a responsive web app to function seamlessly across mobile and PC screens. He was hands-on in generating the designs and feature requirements, delivering a functional app that will save AT&T hundreds of thousands over its lifetime. He’s passionate about using digital design to solve customer problems. That he’s got a bottomless sense of humor, and could not be easier to work with, is just icing on the cake. As a co-worker, Lyle has my unreserved recommendation, if I was hiring for UX design, or needed someone to lead a front-end web team, Lyle would be at the top of my recruiting list. If digital customer experience is a core value for your company, then I have three words for you. Hire. This. Man.
