You can’t throw a stick these days without hitting a designer. What makes Virginia stand out? A rare blend of enterprising humility, collaborative ease and creative thinking.

In two years on our design team, Virginia influenced many projects to successful outcomes blending smart UX and UI skill with a flair for process efficiency and co-design consulting.

Even when the ask was unfamiliar, ambiguous or atypical, she was often first to raise a hand to help: create an iteration framework for character animation, advise approaches for scrum and design workflow, extend “traditional” UX rules to augmented reality, develop an institutional POV on IoT & Connected Product design, bring a comedian to teach us the value of improv in UX, and hop aboard a grocery bus – volunteering to bring fresh produce to a local, under-served neighborhood.

I highly recommend Virginia to any team looking for a proactive, thoughtful, and solution-oriented designer.

I worked with Virginia on several wellness-oriented interactive programs. She consistently offers a nuanced approach to insight-gathering, as well as thoughtfully-rendered designs. These two aspects of Virginia’s talent and experience - and her flexibility to move between them as needed - helped advance our work meaningfully. Virginia also demonstrated a confident methodology for fostering design thinking by leading ideation workshops with our large, multidisciplinary group. Virginia’s talent, genuine enthusiasm, and easy collaboration make her an excellent partner for any strategic design team.

Virginia was instrumental in helping our team develop processes and interactions that enabled it to grow from an ad hoc R&D group to an enterprise level innovation team, which helped us tackle even bigger projects and led to some of our biggest successes.
