Bio
Angela Bissett
Mika is amazing! We love working with her because she is articulate, bright, knowledgeable and engaging. She is helping us with the refurbishment of our website: the layout, design, content writing. SEO and marketing. We love how she draws out of us, what we want to achieve with our website with the right questions and feedback. She is very clear about her strengths and her limitations and we appreciate that because we didn't want to pay for someone's learning curve. So if she can do it - she will tell you. If she can't, she will tell you that too. We value her integrity...awesome to work with and we look forward to a long business relationship with her. :-)

I have been working with Mika on many projects in different domain areas. She has the unique ability to quickly gain required knowledge, navigate through ambiguity and find the shortest path to a solution. Mika is very comfortable to work with, communicative and attentive to details. She knows the specifics of the software development cycle and organizes her work for the best time efficiency for herself and her colleagues. I would be happy to work with Mika again at the next opportunity!
