Pat’s Point of View

Patrick is a keen observer and an insightful thinker, two key attributes for a successful information architect. In his time at Step Two, Patrick demonstrated a remarkable passion for the needs of users, and a commitment to the business which is still delivering benefits. I can strongly recommend Patrick as a senior IA and user advocate, and wish him the very best for his future projects.

We had to develop an analysis method and training prospective interviewers on the method. Then collect and collate the results all done quick time! Another Experienced UX Architect was needed. Patrick did a great job with questionnaire development and fantastic effort collating and documenting the outcomes. Patrick’s innovative approach to documenting results made for a highly usable and readable analysis that made the right people (those with the funds) take notice.

Patrick has been an enthusiastic volunteer for Redkite (formally Malcolm Sargent Cancer Fund for Children) as part of the Y4K Colour Ball Committee since 2007 [..] Patrick ensured that [the Y4K Colour Ball website] would be easy to update for ongoing years and enabled the website to showcase the event in a professional and polished way. [...] Patrick’s voluntary efforts have enabled us to focus our limited resources on delivering a high standard of care to the families of children with cancer.

As Head of Technology at CMW Interactive Patrick was a key member of my team. In addition to providing leadership and management of our technical capabilities, he was instrumental in driving our expertise in user experience/IA. Pat is a person you can depend on, whatever the situation and you know he deliver beyond expectations.

Pat is a knowledgeable, reliable technical person to have in any team. His experience with web development and accessibility/usability proved invaluable to us.

Pat is an accomplished technical lead, having worked on many varied projects with vastly different requirements. He approaches these with both a high level of technical ability and strong problem solving skills. Pat actively works to find the best solution to a problem, is not afraid to question convention, and is a great collaborator. Overall a great guy to work with.

A very supportive manager with a lot of technical expertise, I learned a lot working with him. Strongly recommended.

It was a pleasure working with someone as easy-going and dedicated as Patrick. His willingness to go the extra mile and expertise in web technologies was definitely an asset to the team at Leo Burnett. I highly recommend working with Patrick.

Working with Patrick was always a thoroughly enjoyable experience. His remarkable knowledge and passion for all things digital inspired and motivated everyone around him. While his work ethic, team spirit and integrity ensured every project was delivered to the highest possible standard.

Patrick is never short of ideas nor passion and enthusiasm for his job and the field in which he works. His determination to further educate his peers and himself have made Patrick a great asset to the company and his dedication has resulted in numerous successful projects and the growth of the team to what it is today.

Patrick’s knowledge of the digital discipline, his ability to manage staff reporting into him, his passion and his professional attitude places him well for any number of roles that he might apply for—and any number of organisations he might apply to. At all times with Patrick, you will find you are dealing with a very resourceful, responsible and responsive individual.

Patrick will be missed by all of us here at Leo Burnett, however we wish him well in his future endeavours.
