I design products that people understand.

Vanessa has been one of the most reliable designers on my team. A lot of people can bring design ideas or have skills in particular areas, but Vanessa has just shown up consistently. She answers questions and requests quickly, she does what she says she's going to do, and delivers what we need for the business even through tons of shifts and ambiguity. This is gold. Vanessa recently helped our team launch a brand new agentic onboarding experience, which has had a huge impact. She's not just designing pixels anymore; she's also getting into the prompt layer, shipping PRs, and creating consistent, reusable patterns specifically in the agentic UX world.

I worked with Vanessa for two years on HubSpot's pricing pages, and she's one of the best design partners I've had. Vanessa is a true thought partner, not someone who just waits for direction. We were regularly tasked with shipping new, complex pricing and packaging on tight timelines, and she cut through the noise every time, landing on solutions that were clear, simple, and ready to go. Her design decisions were pragmatic and always well reasoned, so the team could move fast without second-guessing. I'd highly recommend her to any team and hope we get to work together again.

Vanessa is an extraordinarily talented designer and brings a delightful energy to any group or project she is involved with. Having Vanessa on your team means that your team will succeed. She is an expert communicator and problem-solver, and has deep knowledge of her design domain as well understanding business needs and how to solve for the customer first and foremost. Any team would be lucky to have Vanessa!

Vanessa is a thoughtful, pragmatic, and driven product design leader. We worked together when I was new to product design as a practice and she taught me a lot about real-world user-centered design. Later I recruited her to help me build up the product design team at Rite Aid. Vanessa is someone who can jump into any situation and knows how to get things done, while pushing for improvement and innovation in both the product and the team's processes. She is an excellent communicator and facilitator of cross-functional collaboration. She is a strong team leader, but can also put her head down and work through complex problems on her own when called for. She is also very selfless and goes out of her way to lift up others and advocate for users. I would highly recommend working with Vanessa if you have the opportunity!

I first met Vanessa as a mentor and later had the incredible opportunity to work with her as my manager. From the beginning, she brought clarity, thoughtfulness, and a deep generosity in how she shared her knowledge. As I grew into more complex projects, she remained a steady guide and eventually became the manager who had the biggest impact on my growth. As a leader, Vanessa strikes the perfect balance. She gives you the space to work independently while offering just the right amount of guidance and challenge to push your thinking and raise the quality of your work. She has an incredible eye for detail and a strong commitment to craft. She encourages precision in both strategy and execution, and working with her made me a more confident and thoughtful designer. Vanessa leads with empathy and clarity. She is focused on helping others succeed while never losing sight of delivery and quality. She builds trust naturally and creates an environment where people feel supported and motivated to do their best work. Any team would be lucky to have her, not just for her design expertise but for the lasting impact she makes as a leader and mentor. I hope to work with her in the future!
