Design Director

I am very grateful to have Siri as my manager. She is one of the hardest-working and organized people I have ever worked with. I have been with the firm for more than 3 years, and only after she became my manager, for the first time I felt my effort was seen.

Senior Designer

Siri has been an exceptional manager who has positively impacted me in many ways. Her leadership, dedication, and ability to bring out the best in each of us have been truly remarkable. She is incredibly detail-oriented, ensuring that every aspect of our projects is planned and executed smoothly. Her ability to balance being both a meticulous planner and a great leader has created a positive and productive work culture. More importantly, she is a caring individual who genuinely looks out for us.

Senior Designer

Siri has demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities. She possesses a natural ability to inspire and motivate others, and her approach to mentorship is both thoughtful and effective. As a mentor, Siri has been very approachable, and genuinely invested in my growth. She is highly resourceful and always goes above and beyond to provide support.

Research Lead

Siri was a dream design partner. She is a talented, thoughtful, organized designer. She made sure that content was engaged at every step, discussed content strategy with me, and invited me to help present work to others—this was a really big deal. Content is trying to make sure we get a seat at the table, and Siri gave us that seat from the start, so we felt like a team all along.

Content Design Lead

Siri comes with a wealth of knowledge on design. She was very well organized and documented everything. She made sure to follow up and escalate as needed. She provided design feedback on our deliverables for the year. She was a true leader and I really appreciate our collaboration. We had great communication and collaboration, which I think is key in a partnership.

Lead Product Manager

Siri was able to learn a complicated product space, hire a team from scratch and create an ethos of design thinking for a nascent product team. She was able to organize our library of workflows in a logical manner, help us think about the problems we're trying to solve in a consultative way, and support the triad to develop a roadmap.
