Recommendations

Amy Cho

Lead Designer at Google

Grace has strong attention to detail, unbreakable drive, and impressive problem solving skills that make her a prized team member for any company. With her calm approach, Amy is unintimidated by new challenges which is apparent when she is able to thoroughly research, execute, and present a solution that will ultimately lead to a better user experience. Working with her has been a pleasure as she loves bringing an intuitive, top notch experience to the audience she's designing for. Amy is reliable, sharp, and trustworthy which is why I sincerely hope we cross paths again in the future because you don't come across someone with her work ethic everyday.
