Testimonials

"Effective human-centered design is fundamentally about listening to, understanding, and solving problems for someone in need. Crystal's ability and initiative to implement human-centered design in a fast growing organization of 100+ people across multiple departments demonstrates that she can not only help organizations build more meaningful products, but also change organizational cultures and processes to value human-centered approaches."
- Momo Ong, Product Manager at Facebook

"Crystal assisted our team as the UX design lead to develop our company’s flagship product, Real Talk. As an early stage technology company, Crystal’s experience and skills were invaluable for turning our prototypes into a reality. It was clear she did extensive research and carefully thought through design decisions, which meant she asked all the right questions and consistently aligned her designs to our priorities, needs, and goals. In addition to her talent, Crystal’s enthusiasm made it a delight to tackle our design challenges."
- Cristina Leos, President and Cofounder of MyHealthEd
