“I had the pleasure of working with Patrick for two short client contracts while we studied at Academy Xi. His ability to break down a large task and make it manageable was incredibly valuable. Having worked in high stress/ problematic situations before, Patrick ensured that we all kept calm and moving forward. Cross-skilling with Patrick is a breeze, he is more than happy to teach you everything he knows and will humbly accept any advice/knowledge you have to share with him. I look forward to the prospect of working with Patrick again in the future.”

“I taught Patrick on the UX transformation course at Academy Xi and beyond being a very capable student I found Paddy to be a strong team player, with great empathy and a strong eye for detail. Having an existing background in design and international experience I was pretty sure Paddy would do great things on the course. A competent UX generalist Paddy can work across the design process from research to interaction design, he’s great on ideation and took to the tools like a duck to water. I think Paddy would be a great asset on right team, he’s highly personable and has a great work ethic.”

“It was a pleasure to have Patrick Lane be part of the Technical Design team I manage at TEAGUE. The focus of our work in Technical Design is designing and building mockup and prototypes of a wide variety of Commercial Aircraft products and interiors. Patrick is a dedicated and hardworking individual. The work we do can be complex and challenging but Patrick was always up for the challenge and worked hard at learning new skills. We frequently face short deadlines, resulting in pressure and extra hours. Patrick demonstrated a strong commitment and work ethic to get the work done on time and with the right quality. The user experience in Commercial Aircraft is at the forefront of our design process and Patrick quickly grasped this concept. When collaborating with the broader team, it was second nature for him to consider the user experience and the impact our decisions would have. He also designed and worked with a broad types of material from EPC foam, to wood, aluminum and printed parts as well as laminates and textiles. Patrick is a creative thinker, designer and builder with a tremendous amount of passion to produce things that will make people’s lives better.”
