During his internship, Axel conducted extensive research on the usability of our website and web application. In doing so, he was very thorough; Axel likes to understand in detail why certain things were developed. In doing so, he shows an enormous eagerness to learn and great enthusiasm. As a result, Guardian360 received a report from Axel that lays a solid foundation for UX design and gamification in the years to come. All of which he has substantiated with prototypes and clearly naming quick wins.<\/pee> <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Axel worked with me as a user experience designer at Guardian360 \u2013 I found him to be very passionate and dedicated to his work. He has a high attention to detail and took initiative to produce many UI artifacts that were missing from our organization, over and above the scope of work assigned to him. This made our lives much easier, and his impact at Guardian360 will be felt long after he has gone. He has the potential to be a game-changer for whoever employs him into their team.<\/pee> <\/div>\n
