Bio
Cheston Heyman
Amanda has shown herself to be a collaborative leader who mentors and encourages her team - paying attention to the details to advocate for the clients' needs and our team's excellence. To guarantee the success of a story, UX/UI and QA must work closely together, and Amanda has excelled in that regard. She has always pulled through to help the team from getting lost in a sea of business requirements - never seizes to surprise. Thorough, proactive, and excellent at foreseeing impromptu modifications to the project. Accurately predicting how a user will interact with a particular component - committed to usability. Without a doubt, I would be the first to look for someone like her to join my team because she is so dedicated to customer experiences and teamwork.

I worked alongside Amanda for 3 years while at First Digital and she never failed to impress me. She is the type of peer who seems to have a never ending amount of tricks up her sleeve. Right when you think you've seen the best of her abilities she quickly shows you that she's so much more. First off, Amanda has a natural gift for user experience, client workflows and front-end development. She is also an excellent team player, quickly shifting focus from one department for another as they all clamour for her assistance. Amanda is also just an awesome person to work with, she's fun, hard working and extremely talented. I couldn't recommend her any more highly for any position in UX/UI or front-end development. She would be a great asset to any organization. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions about my experience working alongside her.
