Suzanne and I worked together years ago, and in a random twist of fate, I got to freelance for her in 2020-2021. I love working with Suzanne! She's strategic, collaborative, and always provides clear feedback and direction grounded in solid, thoughtful reasoning. A UX/Content strategist at heart, she also has a deep understanding of all the moving pieces and can keep everyone focused on the end goal. I'd love for our professional paths to cross again someday!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with many professionals in the UX and Product space, and Suzanne is someone who I always think of fondly. I started my UX career working with Suzanne at PerkinElmer. Her ability to direct diverse stakeholders with a sense of calm and amicability have always been an inspiration. I learned a lot from her in my first UX role. Whether it was guiding constructive discussions using comprehensive UX artifacts or asking thought-provoking user and business centric questions, she had the knack to gain alignment among diverse stakeholders, ultimately helping teams to envision the UX strategy. Suzanne has continued to be a mentor and a sounding board - whether it is reviewing my UX portfolio or discussing Product and UX maturity in organizations, she always has unique perspectives and constructive feedback. Suzanne's guidance has helped me evolve as a professional. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a strategic UX and Product-centric leader.
