" Michaela is a thoughtful and adaptable UX designer who consistently delivered strong work, even amid shifting priorities and the ambiguity of launching a 1.0 web product. She brings a strong sense of curiosity and a clear commitment to growth—regularly seeking opportunities to expand her impact beyond her role. She partnered with junior designers, proactively led design team standups, and even initiated a revision of the team’s design system before I joined... Her attention to detail, collaborative mindset, and ability to navigate complexity made a meaningful impact on both the product and team culture. I’d hire Michaela again in a heartbeat."

" Michaela was one of the main UI/UX Designers I had the pleasure of working along side of. We worked through about two huge mobile UI/UX redesigns and general work. She is an extremely dedicated and passionate designer. I could guarantee that she would do her best to understand the users needs and the developers. As we were working on an already heavy graphics related project and getting it on low spec hardware I had a lot of restrictions on the performance of the UI/UX and she was able to easily understand and relate to those restrictions and did amazing work to ensure that the designs met those criteria. Anyone would be lucky to have her on their team."
-Daniel B., Director of Engineering, Napster
" Michaela has a great design and product intuition when it comes to software and users! Working with her for several years, it became apparent that she is very dedicated to her role as a designer in delivering the best and most intuitive user experience possible. We worked very closely to deliver multiple software projects together. It was always fun to jam with Michaela on UI and UX for features or user flows, and she was always receptive of feedback and willing to learn/improve. Her ability to put the users first was always commendable. I recommend Michaela if you are looking for a motivated and eager UI/UX designer!"
