Bio
Katrina P.
Chela is such a talented designer. She is extremely organized, proactive, and determined when it comes to solving design problems. Her clarity, responsiveness and friendly demeanor make her an amazing collaborator. I love working with her, as I always learn so much from her strong processes and incredible UI design skills. She’s a champion of accessibility in our platform, which has been a huge undertaking. Chela brings enthusiasm and delight to our team’s culture as well, and makes virtual meetings so much more fun!

It's such a freakin pleasure working with Chela's designs, mockups, and docs. Everything she touches gets very organized and concise, making it super rad for Devs and PMs to work with. She works great across multiple teams, managing several tasks in an efficient order. If I could, I would pick her to be the designer on any team I'm working with. Chela is just the best!
