Rachel's attention to detail and ability to articulate complex ideas with clear and precise annotated customer journeys and wireframes were simply world class.
Everyday Rachel would come to the office with a positive outlook ready to solve the days issues even when the project inevitably got more challenging.

Rachel’s consideration and execution when detailing complex user flows and wire-framing was equally impressive. Detailed annotations on IA and interaction made it simple for both the client and engineering teams to understand the solution, transforming what could have been a difficult project into something that felt very smooth.
