Bio
Manuel Pelaez
Stephany is extremely versatile and a great problem solver. She always tries to understand the user first so she has empathy for them when she would engineer the final solutions. I really enjoyed collaborating with her during the ideation phase of projects because she brought creative solutions to the table as well as cool sketches (hidden talent). Overall solid teammate!
