“Samira joined this project as it was well underway and jumped in with both feet! Given her interest across interaction design, she was leveraged for a variety of evolving as-needed tasks touching different parts of the project to meet changing client needs across prototype and MVP initiatives. She has served in a flexible role across the three different design pods, acting as a pinch-hitter to help implement design system changes, coordinating work with other team members, and reporting her efforts/blockers in our daily standup. Samira has readily risen to the challenge of learning a new client, industry, and new skills.” – Louise Larson (Manager)
