"I had the opportunity to work with Mara on an upgrade project at Optum, where we collaborated closely to refine and elevate the design experience. Mara was highly receptive to feedback and consistently demonstrated a strong ability to iterate and improve her work. I partnered with her to review designs and fine-tune details, ensuring the solutions were both thoughtful and aligned with user needs and business goals. Together, we worked through updates with stakeholders, leading discussions with the business to align on changes and direction. She also played a key role in bringing the work to life through an interactive prototype, which we used for user testing to validate our approach and gather meaningful insights. Mara is collaborative, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering high-quality work. I’d gladly work with her again.”
