Bio
Nina Cristobal
I was incredibly lucky to get to work on Holly's design team at Wonderist. An inspiring leader, fun-loving team player, and advocate for her teammates, Holly managed her team with compassion and humility. She walked the walk and talked the talk, always provided clear and concise feedback, and regularly checked in with her team to make sure everyone had what they needed to do their job well. Not only is Holly a natural-born leader; she's a ridiculously talented designer as well. She consistently delivers outstanding branding and web design work, and her passion for tinkering with new applications constantly inspires me to push my own creative boundaries in my work. She stays in the know about design trends and resources, and I always enjoy checking out her latest finds! One of my favorite parts of working with Holly was getting to experience the completely transparent culture she created within our team — she knew how to challenge us to push our creative boundaries while also being our biggest cheerleaders. She's empowered me to find my voice in design and has helped me tremendously in gaining confidence in my work. I'm so grateful for her constant support and collaborative energy. Any team would be absolutely lucky to work with her!

Holly is one of the most loyal and thoughtful supervisors I have ever had. Her beautiful design eye and impressive work ethic allows her to whip out amazing pieces quickly, while also being able to organize workflow and manage the team. She is technical, organized and motivated, able to balance the creative demands of the agency (both internally and client-facing) with team growth and managerial needs. Holly is always improving her skills and learning new design tools, bringing her designs to life and evolving the design standard while problem solving and troubleshooting even more efficient solutions. Having her as my peer has pushed me to be a better, more intentional designer and a stronger person at my core. She inspired me to always follow my gut, stay inspired, speak my truth and how to mitigate client crises. Forever grateful to her for her role in shaping my professional career. I recommend her in a heartbeat, she is a shining gem that would be an incredible asset to any team.
