“I feel lucky to have worked with Theresa for the better part of a year. Her track record for leading high-visibility projects with a large number of stakeholders was fully on display as she helped lead design for Walmart’s Holiday experience—one of the most important events of the retail calendar. Her design rigor was evident in how she constantly sought out feedback, data, and research to make design decisions. In fact, over time Theresa has become the resident “research-enthusiast” on our team. More than once she even went out of her way to help me track down existing research for some of "my projects.

Perhaps more importantly, Theresa is a supportive and thoughtful teammate. At one point, when I became overstaffed on two projects, Theresa quickly offered to step in and lead one of those initiatives. She kept me in the loop, sought my input, and managed stakeholders for the project end-to-end. And that thoughtfulness extends not only to our team but to our users as well.

Theresa is constantly raising the bar for what it means to be a good designer and teammate. When our team was asked to put together a few screens for a competitive audit, Theresa created a whole deck. She is also the only one of our teammates that has not only led a team social hour but created an entire bespoke escape room challenge (using Figma prototypes no less!) so that we could break out of our routine. Her process-driven approach to UX leads to brilliant design. Her thoughtfulness as a teammate leads to a better team. I hope I get to work with her again in the future!”
