Great managers are hard to come by.
An incredibly thoughtful, supportive, and strategic Design Manager like Amy is even rarer. I’m extremely grateful to have been under her care.
— Lily Jiang, Senior Product Designer at Ada
I’ve been lucky enough to have had Amy challenge me in my professional and personal development. She’s taught me what it means to push boundaries in design, think holistically and simply, and always be the voice for our users.
— Lily Jiang, Senior Product Designer at Ada
I’ve worked with a lot of first-time managers, but Amy stands out to me as someone who not only was a true natural in the role but someone who took feedback, adjusted and really honed the craft of management.
— Chelsea MacDonald, Head of People at Ada
She understands how to balance the tension between business and user needs, and is equally capable of interacting with engineers and executives alike.
— James Wu, Former Sr. Director of Product at Kobo
My everyday interactions with her were easygoing. She doesn’t have an ego. Although she can hold strong opinions (as any designer should), she communicates them in a way that doesn’t make others defensive.
— Tah Wei Hoon, Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft
Her grit to push towards the right solution has raised the bar for the Design team. Quite simply, she’s a force to be reckoned with.
— Dieter Limeback, Design Director at Wave
A tremendous individual. Apart from her exceptional work, Amy provided terrific feedback to other designers in design critiques.”
— Gabriel Tomescu, Design Manager at Wave
Amy possesses the rare ability to develop high-level experience strategy while managing minute details of complex design projects.
— James Wu, Co-founder of Innerspace + Sr. Director of Product at Kobo
I’ve seen Amy present her informed design choices in tough meetings with C-level Executives, and she is always able to come out on top with poise, intelligence, and skill.
— Sabrina Jayabal, Project Manager at Wave
Amy has a real talent for pitching UX to a broad range of stakeholders, brainstorming new and innovative solutions to business challenges, and managing even the most complex projects.
— Corbet Fawcett, Former Director of User Experience at Kobo
To a further extent than other designers, Amy seeks early and frequent feedback and doesn’t grow attached to a particular design—valuable attributes in any project with rapid changes.
