Bio
Roberto Holguin
Rebecca not only has a wide range of knowledge and experience. She is one of not that many people that can connect across disciplines and really offer insights and solutions that are about outcomes that are really relevant. Both creative and practical. Also I must say a pleasure to work with.
Nathalie Cacheaux
I worked with Rebecca on several projects while we were colleagues at Insitum (both Mexico and the US). Our projects included designing financial services for the Mexican Market and developing the strategy for the Insitum’s Strategic Research Practice. These projects included extensive work using design research methods, methods for analysis and synthesis, brainstorming and prototyping methods, storytelling, and presentation skills. I strongly recommend Rebecca’s work in these areas and her capabilities for client management. I learned from her how to be the most dedicated and proactive member of a team along with the greatest work ethic. She always asks the types of questions that help understand the essence of a challenge and get teams to be on the same page while building good and strong relationships among the team members. I would definitely recommend her work and would work with her again!
