I've been lucky enough to collaborate with some exceptional individuals. See what they have to say about our working relationship.

“Alanna is an exceptionally hard worker that always goes above and beyond what's asked of her. She is a strategic and holistic thinker with a close attention to detail, which ensures thought through design solutions for all of her projects. In the recent changing environment, we've asked Alanna to contribute on several different parts of the B2C experience in order to manage the workload efficiently, and Alanna always makes sure she understands the scope fully, and pushes for clarity to design for user centric considerations wherever she is needed. Alanna is also always the first to offer her time when I ask the design team for volunteers on extra support on urgent design needs. Her overall recent contributions have resulted in successful metrics on listings pages and deals flows. I'm very impressed with how she keeps rising to the occasion and becoming a more experienced designer every quarter. She continues to bring a positive and inquisitive attitude no matter what is asked of her, and she has become a trusted respected and collaborative design partner for the design team and the EPD org at large.”

“Alanna is exceeding expectations in her role as Product Designer. She has moved around to different teams, from Deals to Brands, and always rises to the occasion. Instead of being paralyzed by the new context, she jumps headfirst into learning the space and partnering to find solutions. I was especially impressed when she investigated the Brands space and came back to Product with user-centric, high impact feature ideas for B2B. You can throw any problem at Alanna, and she is going to going to quickly and mindfully provide a solution. I can always count on her to tackle any challenge, no matter the domain. Furthermore, she has designed for both B2B and B2C with ease, as seen with both Deals and Brands. She turns work around fast, is very communicative about her progress and welcomes feedback. She is dependable and talented.”

“Alanna is doing a great job. She was assigned to the Brands domain for about 3 months. She quickly got up to speed and started contributing in a short time. We lack an understanding of brands, so her quick onboarding is an accomplishment. During those 3 months, she designed 2 major initiatives: new market brands and brand-led verifications. In addition to that, she designed improvements to several other products and features, such as brand listings, preferred retailers, navigations, and more.”
