Bio
Annette Bater
Evi was a delight to work with. While I wasn’t one of her direct reports, we shared a common interest of taxonomy and categorization. She was a steadfast advocate of that work and despite ideas originating from a different part of the org, she worked hard to ensure strategic information reached critical executive leadership. I strongly recommend Evi as a design leader in any organization regardless of size. She’ll make a great craft leader and wish her well in her future endeavours. She’ll be missed!
Katja Garrood
Working with Evi has been one of the highlights of my career, and I continue to build upon what I learnt from her and the legacy she left with us at Brandwatch. The headline on Evi is, she will make a difference. I cannot recommend enough the heady cocktail in one person of someone who knows their craft across the spectrum of user centred design, UX maturity, and strategy, with a passion for driving and executing upon what it takes, to achieve authentic customer centricity within an organisation. Evi is also a great manager, earning loyalty and respect from her teams and peers. She has an incredible work ethic, an open mindset, is accommodating, empathetic, helpful, smart and ...resilient, not to be underestimated in a business which has undergone a fair amount of M&A with all the integration and transformation work this inevitably involves. 3 words. Evi is impressive :)

I led the Research and UX work for Google's Consumer Barometer. A simple, intuitive app that allowed people to explore and interpret findings that drew data from two large surveys of online behaviour: the Consumer Barometer questionnaire, and the Connected Consumer Study. The result was a tool that simplifies the processing of big sets of data, so users can ask questions, discover new insights and extract real value.
