Testimonials

"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.”

"I had the privilege of working with Mara on a comprehensive and highly-complex site redesign executed within an aggressive timeframe. Despite lengthy requirements, long meetings and tight deadlines, Mara consistently turned around fresh, thoughtful designs quickly, iteratively, and collaboratively. She made everything look easy! What's more, she is a delightful, kind, funny and whip-smart colleague. I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to work together again, as she is an incredible asset to any team and every project."
