The amount of creativity and attention to detail is fantastic. Connie puts a lot of thought and effort into the materials she produces and knows how to enhance a presentation and make it engaging. I wish I had even a fraction of the talent and eye for design that Connie has. Great work!"

It made their experience much more enjoyable from a learning perspective! We were able to use the templates you created to enhance our training materials and create a very professional, premium presentation to our Lounge Ambassadors and leaders. Your willingness to provide us with one on one help as needed was appreciated more than you know! Thank you!! Your calm demeanor, leadership skills in teaching, and your creativity of product design surpasses my expectations and it was an honor to work with you. You were able to build our confidence in using the templates and to encourage us to use a variety we may not have noticed. So very grateful for all of your help!"

"I booked a session with Connie and immediately felt like she understood what it was like to be a beginner UXer in today's UX field. She continuously reassured me that my efforts and struggles are universally felt by a lot of UX Designers, which was reassuring because I struggle with self-doubt. I would recommend anyone interested in UX Design or who is currently a UXer to book a session with her and have a nice conversation!"
