Tara was an absolute pleasure to work with. She hired me as a volunteer to conduct and deliver a usability audit for Washington Wild’s website and was my main contact on the project. Tara is very professional, collaborative, an excellent communicator, and is supportive and respectful. Tara was open to engaging with several new usability tools I proposed and was quick to respond to my work with constructive and thoughtful feedback. She demonstrated a keen interest improving her organization’s website and implementing changes. I appreciated Tara’s enthusiasm and openness to tackle these difficult, and often ambiguous, challenges. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tara to manage website content and usability projects, she’ll make a great contribution to your team!
