Bio
Melanie N.
Amanda is thoughtful and strategic in her research approach, always considering the bigger picture. She is able to take piles of data and distill it down to a few key takeaways, making her insights easy to digest and take action upon. She is also a UX evangelist who identifies great stories to share with others to motivate them to care about their customers. Amanda has a passion for delivering amazing user experiences and will take the time to dig into problem spaces and uncover insights to move the team forward. She is wonderful to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again if the opportunity arose.

Working for Amanda has been the highest points of my career so far. Her strong user experience research background provides a detail-oriented work attitude and well understanding of user-centered design. As a manager she trusts her staff understand what must be delivered and how to prioritize tasks, and knows when to hands off. Working for Amanda has been extraordinarily pleasant and I would work for her without hesitation if somewhere down the road our paths intersect again.
