Testimonials
From the second Crystal was hired she hit the ground running full speed, sometimes even faster than I could keep up. She helped modernize our design team by doing a bulk of the migration work from XD to Figma as well as teaching us all the new power we had inside Figma. Her approach to design is refreshing and her passion is unmatched. I expect to see incredible things to come from her and I look forward to having the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

There are very few people I know who can switch career paths and hit the ground running as hard as Crystal. Crystal has shown incredible creative and UX growth in the short amount of time I have worked with her. I had the pleasure of working with her as a fellow Product Designer and have seen firsthand her creativity bloom. Not only that, but Crystal has very sharp problem-solving skills and always came up with a variety of design solutions. Speaking of variety, there is none short with her. Crystal has presented a wide variety of design solutions to the problems she was presented with and made excellent revisions accordingly. She has also flawlessly adapted feedback under time pressure and wonderfully transitioned designs between app and web work. Her cool-headedness and easy-going personality are also a huge plus for the more tense projects she was assigned. I am very glad and fortunate to have worked with Crystal and truly believe she would be an asset to any future employers and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.

Working with Crystal has truly been a pleasure. She is a talented, quick thinker and fast learner who is always ready to assist a teammate. Her positive attitude is contagious. Upon entering the team, Crystal picked up Agile really quickly and it wasn’t long before her teammates felt she was always part of it. She was able to learn the specific product vocabulary and terms in no time and started using them almost immediately. She asked a lot of questions and made sure she was familiar with the product and its details.
Thanks to her, the team was introduced to Figma and it was under her guidance that developers, QAs, and product and project managers started to use the platform to its full potential. Her understanding of UI/UX revived the whole product and rekindled the teams’ enthusiasm for the work we were doing. She always provided several options and carefully listened to the technical side of things, so that she could cover both the beautiful and the functional side of her designs.
Apart from her excellent work, she is a great conversationalist and a lot of fun during coffee breaks and game sessions. Be warned - she will make you consider trying climbing!

I worked with Crystal on a couple of product features at TMG, and from my experience, she's precisely the type of person you want on your team or project! Not only is she a joy to work with, but she is also an incredibly creative visionary and problem solver. She thinks big, works FAST, and is always receptive to others' ideas. Her ability to adapt to a high-pressure, fast-paced environment was also notably impressive. I only wish I worked with her longer. Any team would be lucky to have her!

Crystal is a highly capable marketer with a multi-disciplinary skillset. Organized, adept in creative arts, and self-motivated. She was a driving factor behind why Sender One has become a leader in the climbing industry that plays host to national events like the Paraclimbing World Cup, Adidas Ticket to Rockstars qualifiers, and Pan-American Olympic Qualifiers. Crystal's leadership, empathy, and talent are all why she would make a great addition to any team.
