Bio
Suzanne Snowden
Veronica is incredible to work with! The combination of her previous work experience in all aspects of Events and her professional UX training shines brightly when combined with Veronicas inherent personal traits. This combination makes it easy to trust Veronica with any aspect of what she is working on which was invaluable as she freed up my time (and headspace) as I discovered quickly that her insightfulness relaxed me as she knew what I needed (even when I didn't). She was refreshingly independently proactive, communicative and responsive when tackling any area of the project. Veronica is an excellent communicator with a proven aptitude for learning quickly and has problem solving skills that surpassed my expectations. Veronica overdelivered by suggesting elements that I had not even considered to be essential for my project, but they were! Veronica is so much fun to work with, and has an empathetic listening style and and and analytical approach that means she pays close attention to detail to allow her to visualize not only the big picture, but how it will realistically need to be created. I would highly recommend Veronica to anyone as she has a personal style that I am so happy to have reflected in the work that she did with me. Veronica's stamp on the UX design for my website elevated what I had done in a way I never could have replicated. Thank you Veronica!

Veronica is a fantastically efficient and well organised event manager to work with, making sure everything I needed was in place on the day of the event and keeping me well updated before and after through timely communications. I really appreciated her infallibility and patience in sorting out all the the itineraries and logistics. Even on the day of an event day, despite keeping many plates spinning at once, she always had time to help and offer friendly support. Veronica makes you feel you are in a safe pair of hands. Thank you
