Testimonials from Past Colleagues

I had the pleasure of working with Chevis during his time as a UI Designer, and I can say without hesitation that he is an outstanding talent and a tremendous asset to any design team.

Chevis was handed what many would consider an impossible task: take Treevah’s complex and unconventional system—something that by nature leans toward visual clutter—and turn it into a modern, usable, and elegant interface. He not only accepted that challenge, but exceeded every expectation. Through thoughtful application of contemporary UI principles, he transformed our product into something both intuitive and visually cohesive.

What truly sets Chevis apart is his deep ownership mindset. He didn’t just design screens—he took full responsibility for building a design system from the ground up. He introduced tokenization, cleaned up inconsistencies, and created a scalable foundation that other designers could easily plug into. He also streamlined the UI design handoff process, making it significantly easier for our dev team to work efficiently and accurately—no small feat in a fast-moving startup environment.

Beyond execution, Chevis actively contributed to Design Ops and team growth. He improved design processes, created structure where there was none, and made a measurable impact on the team’s overall workflow and collaboration. His proactive approach made him a natural leader—he speaks up when something needs to be said, steps up when leadership is needed, and never waits to be told what to do.

Chevis is intelligent, dependable, and someone you can count on—whether it's 2 PM or 2 AM. He’s direct, detail-oriented, and deeply passionate about great design.

I highly recommend Chevis to any organization looking for a strong UI/UX voice, a systems thinker, and someone who will bring both polish and purpose to everything they touch.

Bryan Mulcrone

Role at Treevah: Founder and CEO

I had the pleasure of working closely with Chevis at Vierra, where he not only served as the designer but also the Project Lead. Chevis impressed me right off the bat with his leadership skills, and dedication to elevating our product to its best potential.

What sets Chevis apart is his ability to seamlessly transition between fast iterations on a prototype together with engineers and ensure that every pixel finds its perfect place. This makes him an invaluable asset for our product team.

Alex Shick

Role at Vierra: Founder & CEO

I had the pleasure of working with Chevis Zhou during his time at CampusCollect, and I can confidently say he made a meaningful and lasting contribution to both our product and our team.

From the outset, Chevis demonstrated a proactive mindset and a strong sense of ownership. He consistently took initiative and played a key role in bringing clarity and structure to our UI/UX processes at a time when we needed it most. He managed the full mobile UX process—from early research and concept development to wireframes, user flows, and final interface designs—with care, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of user needs.

Chevis has a strong grasp of mobile-first design principles, and his work clearly reflected this. His contributions helped shape several core features of the app and played a central role in defining the overall user experience for students.

In addition to his technical skills, Chevis was a thoughtful and dependable collaborator. He communicated clearly, worked well across teams, and brought a calm, solutions-oriented attitude to every project. A self starter that works well as an individual contributor but also brings that intangible quality that drives others around him to strive for more. His standard of work and professionalism was unmatched.

I truly appreciated having Chevis on our team and would recommend him without hesitation to any organization looking for a capable and committed product designer. I’m excited to see where his talent takes him next.

Ian Meeks

Role at Campus Collect: Founder & Project Manager

Chevis studied user research at George Mason University before I hired him as an intern. He’s an extremely loyal, likeable, bright, and skilled product designer.

His superpower is his empathy with users, and a unique talent to combine that with his skills for interface design. He’s incredibly curious and always wants to learn more and dig deeper. His work on our marketing site is impressive and really surprised me at the time.

Chevis is incredibly fun to work with, his energy level is nuts.

Victor Wang

Role at Entagile: Founder & Managing Director

I had the pleasure of working with Chevis at Solara for over a year, much of that time as his direct manager.

Chevis is an excellent Product Designer who consistently met and exceeded expectations. He worked on various parts of the product, notably taking the initiative on the homepage and API documentation redesign. He effectively handled complex challenges and consistently delivered high-quality results. His strong understanding of user needs and his focus on impactful features rather than just flashy designs made him stand out.

In Solara’s fast-paced startup environment, Chevis’s adaptability and eagerness to contribute wherever possible were invaluable. He was always willing to step up and take on new tasks, demonstrating a great capacity for learning and growth. Beyond his professional skills, Chevis brought positive energy and a collaborative spirit to the team, making him a joy to work with and fostering a positive work environment.

I highly recommend Chevis. His exceptional design skills, strong work ethic, and positive attitude would be a valuable asset to any team.
