She is easy to work with and always displays a professional attitude. She more than met our expectations for creativity and knowledge, and she always got the job done with excellent results.”
Joan Myers

“Laura is a very detail oriented designer. She gets the concept quickly, executes in a timely manner, and delivers creative concepts with the user's overall experience in mind. Some designers can design but can't put themselves in the seat of the user. Laura gets this important aspect and because of that, was an essential part of our product team for two different startups now.”
Joel Phillips
Founder at Siglo Internet
“Laura is a very dedicated worker and makes sure she understands the problem fully and from all angles. She encourages testing and validation of her designs with the users to make sure it will be successful.
On top of all of her duties, she was building the complete design system with another designer and coordinating with the development team. She did it all with a smile on her face.
I had the honor of working for her and with her through many projects. I will miss her input and amazing eye for design. I hope we will work together again in the future!.”
