"Kelly is a level-headed, multi-talented, inspirational person, a thoughtful contributor and a great teammate. I’d welcome her back to Optimal Workshop in a heartbeat."
- Andrew Mayfield
CEO and Founder of Optimal Workshop

“Kelly really stands out with her ability to take a problem of any degree of complexity head-on, break it down, sort the important from the irrelevant, and engage the whole team in a process that is always impeccably facilitated and equally revealing and fruitful. Be it building out a technical product feature, or co-authoring a product strategy, Kelly always brings a sharp focus on users' needs and a high level of dedication. Kelly does a great job co-interviewing product role candidates, she has a talent for finding a rapport with every engineer, and she cares deeply for a healthy culture and community. She is a multi-faceted and experienced UX specialist with an open, kind and thoughtful personality that any modern product engineering team can wish for.”
- Ernests Karlsons
CTO and Co-Founder of Layer Software

"One of Kelly's most recent projects was a very complex rewrite that resulted in significant user-facing changes. Kelly had the skills and intelligence to understand the inner workings of the new logic to a very high level of detail, impressively extracting meaning for our users from the chaos and presenting it to them in a way they could get value from. She did an amazing job that I don't think many could have replicated."
- Mog Nessbit
Engineering Manager

"Kelly is one of the most talented all-rounders I've ever worked with, and would recommend to anyone without hesitation. Her work is exemplary, and her creative input is always top notch. "
- Chelfyn Baxter
Creative Director of Mohawk Media

" 'Fairy dust' is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Kelly. She adds magic and delight to everything she touches.

Kelly would be a true asset for any positions requiring a mindful designer/developer and I think it’s only a matter of time before she becomes a leader in her field."
