04 TESTIMONIALS
Bridget Wahlstrom
Product Management Leader at Humana
Anne introduced structure to streamline activities with an emerging team of UX/UI designers. One of my favorite memories, was watching clinicians face light up as they provided feedback on Anne's clickable mock-up messaging application, "When can we have this?"Anne is a talented designer, she comes to work with positive energy, and I would welcome the opportunity to work with Anne again in the future!
Jami Timmons Klotz
VP of Product Strategy at Big Time Software
Anne is one of those rare people that stands out as truly exceptional. I had the opportunity to bring Anne onto my team in 2018 and it was one of the best decisions I could have made for the product management team and the company. Anne’s ability to take a project and run with it has helped our organization redefine our user experience. She has a unique ability to capture user behavior and turn it into an ideal user experience in our software. Her talent is like no other UX leader I have ever worked with. Anne is not only insanely talented but has gained the respect of our entire organization and our customers. As a team member and as a leader within our department, Anne earns my highest recommendation and respect. There is truly no one better!
