    In my years-long career as a software developer, I doubt I’ve met another Product Designer as skilled as Kirsten. Besides her excellent technical skills, Kirsten is a great intellectual and empathic person who sees opportunities and problems where others do not.

    Kirsten is an extremely talented UX designer – she approaches projects with curiosity, always looking to decipher user needs. Kirsten's approach to work is detail-oriented, structured, and thoughtful. She brought an immense amount of knowledge to our team and was a pleasure to work with.

    The combination of her warm personality and excellent design skills ensured that we delivered high level outcomes beyond client's expectations. I would describe Kirsten as someone who thinks contextually and strategically rather than simply delivering on the task.

    Kirsten has an open and inquisitive mindset – asking the right questions and giving solid advice. Kirsten sees connections where others do not, and easily switches between contexts. She is intuitive yet analytical, determined yet flexible – a genuinely warm, and truthful person.
