I have been mentoring budding user experience (UX) professionals for several years, and there’s one thing I always tell my mentees: “It’s never too early in your career to mentor someone. You have valuable expertise that someone else needs. Set aside your doubts and just go for it.” The advice has proven valuable for me as […]

Baseball is a big part of my family. I have three sons, and all of them play for Westfield Youth Sports (WYSI) in Westfield, IN, a suburb of Indianapolis. I first got involved in the organization six years ago as a coach for one of my son’s teams. The work / life balance at Perficient […]

Recently on a project, I came across an opportunity and needed to further my knowledge of a UI framework. I’m a technical consultant based in our Denver office, and I was working on the project full time. I needed to find a way to learn without spending too much time researching outside of work, or […]

Our Dallas office is rallying together this week to collect supplies for residents of Canton, Texas, a town about an hour away that was recently devastated by a deadly storm. General Manager Tim Branham initiated the drive after receiving word through the online neighborhood network NextDoor that a nearby community leader was collecting supplies to […]

I grew up in the Belleville, IL, area and attended Belleville East High School, the home of the Lancers. During those four years (2004 to 2008), I developed as a student, an athlete, and more importantly, a person thanks to the softball program. I can’t begin to express what an awesome group of coaches are […]

Henry Heisler moved from the Midwest to Southern California about four years ago to trade the colder climate for warmer weather. He’s a triathlete and avid cyclist and wanted to be active outdoors year-round. He had previously worked at our Chicago, IL, location and relocated to our Irvine, CA, office. It didn’t take him long to […]

Helping people on their journey to finding a good job has always been a passion of mine, ignited by watching the struggles of peers during the recovery from the Great Recession. In my eyes, nothing changes someone’s life more than their ability to find a meaningful job. About a year ago, I wanted to find […]

Adobe Summit 2017 has been inspiring on many levels. As sponsors and exhibitors at the conference, our Adobe team has spent the week demonstrating how we help our customers build beautiful experiences and enable them to run their marketing efforts more effectively and efficiently. Our colleagues have also attended keynotes, educational sessions, and special events, where they’ve gained […]

“A walk in the park” isn’t typically how one would describe climbing more than 100 floors of big city buildings. But for Ian Linsell, a solution delivery director at Perficient, that’s in some ways what the American Lung Association’s Fight for Air Climb has become for him. “…assuming that the park has lots of stairs […]

Every one of us has served others at some point in our lives. Whether you participated in a walk-a-thon, helped shovel a neighbor’s driveway, or even just held the door open for someone with mobility challenges, you have served. It’s what humans do. Perficient places a high value on serving others both within the working […]

Every so often, Eric Walk and a college student he previously mentored through Minds Matter of Boston grab coffee together. They catch up on how she’s doing in school and her path to graduation. When the student was in high school, Eric had worked with her to finalize her college list, write applications, and find […]

“The generosity of my colleagues never ceases to amaze me,” said Amy Becker, office administrator in our Detroit location. That was especially true in January when her colleagues came together in a big way to participate in the 104.3 WOMC Great Office Challenge. The radio station’s friendly competition among local businesses raised funds for Gleaners […]
