Dylan was the solution-oriented leader we needed! He jumped into the deep end of a hectic launch, and was excited to find smoother ways to connect the cross functionals and always showed up with wonderful positivity and a desire to help. His deep experience and ability to streamline processes was critical; he made our operating systems simple yet effective, the exact solve we needed.

How our co-workers behave in a crisis says the most about them. Dylan has always remained supportive, helpful, organized, steadfast, and loyal in both chaos and order. In creative imagination through production, Dylan's understanding of the creative process for programs, campaigns, marketing initiatives, and content production brings an extraordinary advantage for the ops team. Quicker, greater success is seen at every level in the programs and people he managed at Walmart. I would have been lost without his support on Consumables, Walmart+, Ellen's List, and the vital initiative to bring exceptional accessibility and inclusivity to our marketing and advertising.

Dylan brought operational infrastructure and consistent brand compliance, plus streamlined the production process! He recognizes the value of strong collaboration between Product and Marketing which is something I greatly appreciated! Dylan, with his open and collaborative personality quickly earned the respect of various development teams and improved relationships between multiple teams and became my go-to person for getting campaigns out the door.

I had the pleasure of working with Dylan, where he supported me in several UX initiatives. One project that stands out was the development of our AI-Powered Research Repository, which aimed to make research insights more accessible and scalable across teams. Dylan's depth of experience across UX disciplines offered operational support and thoughtful guidance throughout, helping me get the project across the finish line under tight time constraints. Dylan has a deep respect for the research craft and a natural ability to foster collaboration across disciplines. He’s the kind of partner who brings both calm and energy to the table, organized, curious, and always ready to jump in and help without ego. I genuinely enjoyed working with him and would do so again in a heartbeat.

Dylan was a senior member of my Design Operations team, driving operational excellence across our Experience Design (ExD) organization, which included Architecture, UX/Product Design, Research, and our Brand Design Studio. His expertise in Design Program Operations enabled his team to deliver impactful results with minimal direction.

He has a sharp ability to cut through complexity, collaborate strategically, and translate requirements into clear, actionable plans. His ability to bridge strategy and execution makes him an invaluable team player in any design-driven organization.

His positive, solutions-driven approach fosters collaboration and energizes teams.

Dylan was our dedicated creative ops lead for tech events / tech culture at Intuit. He actively worked with me to develop an improved outlook into our creative deliverables, and was our voice of reason for anything related to creative design scope. Dylan was extremely supportive and empathetic, always looking to improve our op mechs and how they affect our work streams. Moreover, he is genuinely a great guy to work with, always making people smile and bringing an even keeled-approach to his craft. I absolutely recommend Dylan!

Dylan is an efficient Design Program Manager and a brilliant Executive Producer. We worked together on multiple brand projects and he never hesitated to jump into the trenches to help his team meet a client deadline. He is analytical and creative at the same time! Dylan was extraordinary at client-facing matters and I was continually impressed with how much respect he quickly earned from clients. Dylan is a loyal and dedicated team player; I consider him to be a valuable creative partner and an absolute pleasure to be around.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dylan for the last couple of years. We worked closely on the Walmart.com homepage where he managed a team of creative producers / project managers. He is a seasoned Creative Operations Leader who brings not only his experience, but his infectious positive attitude to everything he does. Dylan is a problem solver and loves a challenge.

Dylan brought structure and clarity to a high-stakes, multi-million dollar campaign. His operational leadership kept every part of his team's work running smoothly and his partnership made the process feel effortless - even when it wasn’t.

It was truly a pleasure working with Dylan. He consistently brought endless energy, genuine enthusiasm and impeccable professionalism. Working with Dylan made my job easier in so many ways. He is organized, efficient and has great follow through. He is also a kind, thoughtful person who puts his heart into whatever he does. I wholeheartedly recommend Dylan. Any company would be lucky to have him!

Dylan consistently led the delivery of successful national advertising campaigns that drove measurable results. He provides the strategic direction to align teams under specific directives, while also empowering them to bring bold ideas to life with clarity and momentum. A true ‘Mountain Mover,’ Dylan combines meticulous attention to detail with a passion for excellence, inspiring teams to perform at their best. Those are qualities that make him an invaluable leader and partner in any business-to-agency relationship.

When I began working with Dylan Dawson, I was immediately impressed with his enthusiasm, communication skills and professional demeanor. Dylan has been an outstanding collaborator and valuable team lead on every project that we have worked together on. Dylan is a top performing creative and design operations leader. He has my highest recommendation.

Seldom will you find such a unique combination of computer like organization and empathetic caring for the client’s well being as you will with Dylan. He listens, understands and acts always with the intentions that will best serve the client or stakeholder.

Dylan is a strong and inclusive team leader, in addition to being a thought leader in the creative space. His positive energy and confidence drive people to tackle complex ideas, it would be amazing to work with Dylan again!
