It’s not often you get to work alongside multi-faceted design leaders who put their supporting teams’ success over their own personal stakes. It’s even rarer to work with these leaders on multiple occasions. In the last 21 years in design, I’ve been fortunate to work with John multiple times as my UX counterpart...sometimes my foil, many times my teacher. His talent, coupled with humility, is what’s sorely missing not just in design, but in the world.
John Ma is without question, one of the smartest and wisest people I've ever met. He is thoughtful, curious, creative and an extremely talented UX design lead. I was fortunate enough to work with him on a few projects and he never hesitated in taking time to mentor me, professionally and personally. It was a pleasure to work with John and I would not think twice to do it again.
John Ma is an incredibly talented UX lead who I met and worked with for the better part of a year. His approach to design is always centered in an incredibly empathetic vein and his designs and philosophies are built on the foundation of providing an easy to use, and thoughtful solution to users. His empathy is phenomenal both in his designs and for his coworkers. He's a natural mentor and will put the betterment of others before him every time. I'm proud to say that I worked as a colleague of John Ma's and would readily recommend him to anyone.
Few people have the opportunity to report to a manager who is also their mentor - but I did when I worked for John. He is, without a doubt, the most talented Senior Director, I've ever met in the UX industry. When John gets a problem in front of him, I feel sorry for the problem. His solutions are ingenious, his process is resourceful, and his passion is contagious. He knows how to turn sour meeting with top tier management around so that everyone leaves the room laughing and high-fiving. If you're presented with working with him - don't let it pass!
