Bio
Glenn Yonemitsu
Liz and I worked together for an ambitious project at the Orchard. Starting from scratch, Liz has driven the product UI and UX effort with incredible detail and seamless collaboration with me on the team. It has resulted in a highly polished and effective tool for the clients thanks to her direction and effort. Outside of the team project I have seen Liz give engaging and detailed presentations to the tech and product team about the improvements and efforts company-wide in a UI and UX perspective. These were very substantial sessions that even technical programmers such as myself was able to completely understand at the end. My experiences with Liz at the Orchard both within the team project and outside has been pleasant, friendly, and very productive. She has been an outstanding team mate of mine and will undoubtedly be a great addition to others.

I had the great pleasure of working alongside Liz on the Product Design team at The Orchard. While Liz's eye for detail is an asset to any design team, her empathy and commitment to understanding the user perspective have proven invaluable whenever collaborating on design problems. Liz is a meticulous planner and synthesizer of user research, ensuring a laser-focused approach to uncovering user insights, as well as a clear communicator, which instilled a high level of confidence when presenting research findings. As a colleague, Liz is incredibly thoughtful and reliable, and her home-baked cookies are sorely missed! Liz would be a tremendous asset to any team and comes with my highest recommendation.
