Suzy H.
Where should I even start with Red. Red is not just a designer; she is the driving force behind every aspect of user experience here at Before You Bid. Her meticulous attention to detail and innate ability to translate complex ideas into intuitive designs have elevated our products to new heights we never fathomed even possible. It would be an understatement to say that Red is the absolute powerhouse behind our user-centric approach, bringing life and soul to every pixel she touches. Working closely with Red, I had the privilege of witnessing her unwavering commitment to excellence. Even before she joined the company, it was clear to see that Red approaches her craft with an unmatched level of artistry and professionalism that magnetically inspires everyone around her. Her articulate and thoughtful communication style ensures that her design vision is seamlessly conveyed to our engineering team (as well as other departments) -- fostering a collaborative, inclusive atmosphere where ideas flourish and evolve. In a nutshell, Red's contributions have been invaluable to our success. This was particularly emphasised when we spearheaded difficult initiatives like 'Inspector public profiles' and 'Report writing software' where we had to carve our own path as the market leader in this space. Her ability to blend creativity with strategy, combined with her warm and collaborative approach, has transformed our products and the way we work as a team. It is an absolute joy to endorse Red, and I have no doubt that her future endeavours will continue to inspire and elevate those fortunate enough to collaborate with her. Thank you, Red, for your unwavering dedication and passion. Your positive impact on BYB and in my career growth has been immeasurable. Here's to a future filled with even more extraordinary achievements.

I'm impressed by Red's hunger for growth, actively seeking her teammates' feedback for areas of improvement. She's constantly learning and improving her craft and she's always open to discuss and negotiate the product designs to make both the product team and the tech team happy. It's a mutually-enriching relationship working with Red :) We learn from her as she learns from us.
