Lead UI/UX Designer - Rivet Games

“I've never met anyone who could keep their cool and remain as productive and pleasant as Shawn - while simultaneously designing all the UI/UX for a game launch, building the company brand (logo, website, etc.) and moving across country. He's talented, fast and good natured - I think he may be immune to stress. He's a pleasure to be around and a rock star to have on your team. If you have a chance, hire him immediately!” February , 2 2012
- Claire Umeda, Product Lead

“Shawn is a UI machine! I have never seen an artist work so quickly, so efficiently and produce such awesome work. More importantly, he has incredible technical skills which makes him VERY dangerous! I would hire Shawn in a heart beat for any project!” February , 1 2012
- Greg Thompson, Lead Software Engineer

"Shawn is an amazingly talented UI/UX guy. He is somewhat technical which also helps him communicate with the engineering team, who love to work with him. He has a great attitude, does amazing work and is one of the hardest workers I've ever come across-- I endorse Shawn fully."" February , 1 2012
- Jesse Janosov, CEO

“Shawn and I worked together on same products at Rivet Games. Shawn is very intelligent UI designer. We worked together through multiple meetings and discussed many user interface issues. Shawn has deep understanding of engineering problems and how they pertain to a specific UI design issue. We worked together to resolve issues and present solutions to the product management. He is very skilled and very experienced and I glad I worked with him at Rivet Games.” February , 1 2012
- Damjan Stulic, Software Engineer

“One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high-powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Always in good spirits, Shawn is easy to query and genuinely helpful. His caffeinated UX kungfu is inspiring and fearsome to behold.” February , 1 2012
- Cody Flynn,UI/UX Designer

“Shawn is a one-man UX army. One of the most multi-talented and widely knowledgable people I have ever worked with in a creative industry and a hardened design veteran. Shawn leads by example and set an extremely high standard. In particular his knowledge and sensitivity towards the technology really stood out for me, making him a favorite with design and development alike, and highly suited to his role. This also allowed those of us working under him to work to our strengths despite the challenging technical context, offering sound UX design guidance as well as rock-solid technical expertise. Working with development, Shawn was responsible for introducing a powerful and flexible technology to underly how our UI was implemented in the game that saved hundreds upon hundreds of work-hours and headaches. I cant recommend Shawn enough, any company would be greatly enriched by having his knowledge and energy on their team.” February , 1 2012
- Charles Lee-Thorp,UI/UX Designer

Freelance Web/UI Designer & Design Writer - The Borsky

“We've used Shawn for a couple of years now and we love his attention to detail and his ability to meet tight timelines. Designing websites is heavy lifting and somehow he seems to knock it out of the park each time. I would heartily endorse Shawn for any project he deems to apply to apply his considerable skills and talents.” September 28, 2011
- Al Morel, CommAREus

Managing Principal / CEO - Anthem Design Group

“Shawn is a leader that cares for his customers and takes the time to understand what it is that the client needs. He uses a consultative approach to identify what needs to be delivered and creates a timeline with the client to deliver on what is promised. I highly recommend Shawn to anyone that is looking for an individual that is not only a technical expert, but that can engage and relate with the customers.” August 5, 2011
- Pedro Mora, hired Shawn as a Graphic/Web Designer in 2009

“There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe the quality of Shawn Borsky's work, so I hope I'll be forgiven for exhausting those that are available. Anyone can clearly see his exceptional visual design skills, but what is less apparent to the layperson (and really, far more valuable) is his thorough and even cutting-edge expertise in User Experience. Whether designing a website, mobile app, game UI, or print ad, Shawn has an uncanny ability to get inside the target user's head and understand how they're going to respond to a given stimulus. Furthermore, he's so fast that he's often referred to as a "machine," or a "mutant," and to top it all off, he has a great sense of humor and an inhuman amount of patience, which gives him a terrific attitude in high-pressure development situations. Shawn takes any project to top quality simply because he won't settle for anything less, and it's for that reason that I recommend him as highly as anyone I know.” September 5, 2011
- Missy Roode, hired Shawn as a Graphic/Web Designer in 2007

“I've worked with Shawn for over three years and he is definitely the most talented and productive designer I've ever worked with. His deep, intuitive understanding of design, branding and technology is the result of an uncommonly strong drive to produce. A drive so strong, there's almost never a moment he's not designing a logo, interface or website. And if he's not designing he's writing articles about design. Shawn's experience is evident in his ability to generate top-tier work at an incredible rate. In addition, he has the uncanny ability to read and break down the qualities that make a company or person and craft them into a very fitting, authentic and purposeful brand. With Shawn, nothing he creates is on a whim. Nothing is done half-heartedly. Every design element, every color, pattern, shape, every decision has a meaning and a purpose. Aside from his impressive portfolio and wide-ranging skill-set, Shawn's kind-hearted and generous nature is hard to overlook. In combination with his confidence, these attributes became a tremendous asset, as almost every Anthem client meeting turned into a contract. As a leader Shawn was always a motivating force. His incredible work ethic and seemingly unending competence garnered him respect from all employees. Always friendly and open, Shawn provided for a great culture at Anthem. If you ever need a spot-on, masterfully executed brand renovation, interactive design strategy or game interface done passionately and done quickly, Shawn is your man.” September 19, 2011
- Daniel Sandland, Lead Engineer, Anthem Design Group reported to Shawn at Anthem Design Group

“What can I say, Shawn is phenomenal. He has an amazing work ethic that runs on coffee. He's one of the best and most knowledgable designers you'll meet. Whether it be for print, the web, apps, or games, he knocks every design out of the park with style. UI/UX seems to come naturally to him, because he always knows exactly what to do with any given project. His brain is a massive font database, his technical skills are first-rate, and he's a master of Gestalt. Not only is his work superb, he's also fast! Like a cheetah chasing down a gazelle fast. And if you think he's just a top notch designer, wait until you meet him personally! He's fun to be around and is the kind of expert you want leading your design team.” September 23, 2011
- Charlie Roode, Lead Animator / Production Artist, Anthem Game Group reported to Shawn at Anthem Design Group

“Out of all the teams I've worked in, Shawn is one of my favorite team leaders. He hand-picked team members to suit each project and managed to assign us according to our strengths. I appreciated the trust that was placed in each team member and in turn, the freedom to do our best, all while keeping in tune with each project's and client's goals. Another quality I appreciated in Shawn was having the insight to spot trends and the taste to take advantage of them instead of being carried away by them. I will gladly work with or under Shawn's leadership again.” September 29, 2011
- Weigy W. Samakoen, Production Artist, Anthem Game Group reported to Shawn at Anthem Design Group

Guest Writer - Spyre Studios

“I've hired Shawn on many occasions to write articles for an online web-design and development, SpyreStudios. His work was always spot on and Shawn's articles were always extremely well-received by readers. There is no doubt that Shawn is a skilled writer, but he's very knowledgeable in the fields of design and UX. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.” August 18, 2011

- Jennifer Glover, Art Director, Anthem Design Group reported to Shawn at Anthem,LLC.

“After engaging Anthem and coincidentally learning Shawn's age, I remember saying that he reminded me of the young Bill Gates or the still young Mark Zuckerberg. Very smart, very talented, very creative, very entrepreneurial, and mature beyond his years. Shawn also has a strong ethical core: he develops solutions, not just code. I warmly recommend Shawn as a brilliant partner for game content and software development.” August 8, 2011
