Tara is great at taking complex tasks and turning them into delightful and intuitive user experiences.
She also excels in working cross functionally with product, SME’s, engineers, and upper management. If given the option I would hire Tara again
I saw her rise to meet the challenge of a rapidly growing digital business.
Her user focused solutions were critical to the department's success. She handled diverse & challenging interactions from training new hires, client consultations, to presentations to leadership regularly with ease.

I've directly worked with Tara, she's a highly creative designer with an eye for detail.
She constantly contributed innovative ideas in daily meetings and standups, and she was always looking for ways to help others on the team. She was a highly motivated coworker that I really enjoyed designing alongside.
