    VP of Product at Tilt

    “Stacy was an excellent design partner during my time as a PM at Degreed. She had the right balance of user research, user experience design, and business savvy to be extremely effective at her role. She digs in and wants to understand the why behind our work and the decisions we make. She's got strong product intuition, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stacy.”

  • Wouter de Bres

    “I hired Stacy for my product design team at Degreed, and she turned out to be one of our strongest designers on the team. The combination of her kind and warm personality, along with her strong analytical skills, made her the kind of designer who could handle the most complex projects with ease, collaborate effectively with everyone, and always come up with well-thought-out, elegant solutions.

    If you are reading this recommendation and are considering hiring Stacy, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’ll be happy to provide more details on why she is both an amazing human and designer.”

  • Bethany Larsen

    Lead Product Designer at Voze

    “Stacy is an amazing software designer. While I worked with her, the team and I looked to her for help fine tuning our designs, because she could always make them look better!

    She created and utilized a library of components in order to work quickly on projects, working closely with her PM and developers on her team. She was detailed oriented and made sure the experience made sense and always included every possible design state in her mock ups.

    Ultimately, Stacy is fun! I really loved working with her and it's clear everyone else did too. I've missed her as a coworker, but I'm keeping her as a friend!“

  • Scott Smith

    Director of Product Management at Viant

    “It was my pleasure to work with Stacy on a new product that required a lot of design thought while continually iterating based on customer feedback. I could give Stacy a set of requirements and she could take those and mock them in a way that was unique and user friendly. She was always professional and interacted will with both product and engineering. She would be a great hire and anyone would be lucky to have her on their UX team.”

  • Neil Essig

    Sr. Director of UX at Filevine

    “Stacy has proven to be an amazing, talented, and engaged designer. She brings a unique background to our team and has really helped turn her product around. She works very quickly and produces exceptional design work. She is independent, proactive, and driven to succeed. Stacy works incredibly well with others on the team and in the company. She doesn't hesitate to build relationships and reach out for resources that she needs. She has a great ability to provide balance and bring compromise into tense situations and finds ways to work with everyone around her.”

  • Krissie Shelley

    UX Consultant

    “Stacy constantly amazes me with her ability to design amazing things and manage a team. In a short time, she created a system for non-design teams in our company to easily keep the look and feel consistent with the style guide she created. In a world of easy to copy design, Stacy curated a unique and trustworthy brand identity. On top of that, her smile brightens a room. She's a true pleasure to work with.”

  • Meg Tucker

    Principal UX Designer at O.C Tanner

    “Working as a direct report to Stacy has been an absolute pleasure. As a design leader at Sorenson Media, she has found the perfect balance of helping the company achieve its goals, while also providing her direct reports with the leadership, guidance, respect, structure, and flexibility that they need. Stacy excels at questioning any project that could be considered mediocre and respectfully encouraging those around to produce even better results. She always keeps the client and the end-goal in mind and helps those around her to do so as well. Stacy stays focused on strategy and concept, and at creating results that are exactly what they need to be for the user or client. I would highly recommend Stacy for any Design Leadership or User Experience positions.”

  • Andy Nelson

    Lead Product Designer at ProducePay

    “Stacy is by far the most capable, assertive, and skilled manager that I have worked for. Throughout my time working for her, she proved to have an innate talent for understanding each individual's strengths and weaknesses, and used that knowledge to help each of us perform to the best of our abilities. On top of that, she is also an excellent designer. She consistently produces high quality work and can always provide a positive, helpful critique. I feel that I've grown significantly as a designer as a direct result of her leadership.”

  • Brittany Sudlow

    Head of Product Marketing & Growth at Mixpanel

    “Stacy has a rare combination of both creative intelligence and business acumen.

    I work closely with Stacy as the Creative Team Manager at Sorenson Media. Not only does she manage and lead an entire creative team but is also a great designer herself. I am always amazed by Stacy's passion for never settling for mediocrity and taking design to the next level. She has worked on a variety of projects at Sorenson Media ranging from complete website redesign, company branding, building sales tools, internal communication, video work, and more. She is extremely versatile, passionate, and driven.

    I highly recommend Stacy as she would be an asset to any team.”
