I had the pleasure of working with Deniz for several years, including a complete website redesign project. Deniz is collaborative and brilliant with ideas. I especially appreciate her research and insights into how people are using websites to complete college applications, and blending this with my technical knowledge to improve the website user experience. She also volunteers within our company leadership committees. Deniz is gracious to share her company and project management strategies, where she takes great care for each individual involved.
