Testimonials

"I had the privilege of managing Cody at Sealed Air, where he was a Senior UX Designer. Cody played a key role in the design and evolution of our customer portal. His work on simplifying the interface and making navigation more intuitive significantly improved user engagement and satisfaction. He also led the effort to complete a heuristic evaluation of the experience to drive continued innovation. Cody not only excelled in his own design work, consistently delivering high-quality, user-centered solutions, but also proved to be a great mentor to our junior and mid-level designers. His guidance and support fostered a culture of collaboration within the team. He will be an asset to any design team and I highly recommend him."

"I had the pleasure of indirectly managing Cody Thrift during his time as a Senior UX Designer at Sealed Air, and I was consistently impressed by his ability to deliver impactful, user-centered digital experiences. Cody has a deep understanding of the entire UX process, excelling in user research, information design, and design execution.

He brought clarity and structure to complex navigation systems and consistently delivered wireframes and prototypes that set a high standard for collaboration across teams. His contributions to building and maintaining design systems not only enhanced product consistency but also streamlined team workflows.

Cody’s proactive problem-solving and innovative thinking helped address challenging UX scenarios with ease. Cody remained adaptable, incorporating feedback seamlessly to ensure solutions aligned with both user needs and business goals. He was a vital part of the team, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any role requiring a creative, detail-oriented, and collaborative UX professional."

"I had the pleasure of working directly with Cody over the last 2 years at SealedAir - and he showcased exceptional skills as a designer while collaborating on our B2B platform. Cody and I refined and enhanced several site sections for customers while being on strict delivery timelines, specifically with our freight experience. While many would not thrive with this pressure, I always found that Cody had the ability to not only deliver but also offer additional ideas for how to creatively solve problems for our customers. What always stood out to me is that Cody was not an order taker - he would ask questions that would challenge products approach and often suggest alternative methods that are in line with industry standard. 

I always appreciated Cody's willingness to collaborate with our Product team and continue building that rapport even when we got assigned different projects. Cody always took a user-centric design approach - leveraging research findings from our UX Research team and incorporating that feedback into future requests. To my knowledge in his tenure, he and his team not only built foundational pieces of our checkout experience but redesigned almost the entirety of our B2B platform. It's safe to say SEE would not be where it is today without Cody's dedication and customer first mindset.

Any company considering him for opportunities should note that he's devoted, motivated, and has a track record of delivering results that not only wow, but result in incremental revenue."

“Cody has that go and get it attitude that any team will benefit from. He is on-task and motivated, as well as highly conceptual and creative. He can be trusted to over-deliver in a timely manner with any project that he is assigned. And his positive personality keeps fellow team members motivated as well.”
