On Creative Thinking
"Valerie was an invaluable resource for [our workshop]. She has an exceptional eye for aesthetic and design, and was able to easily translate our thoughts and ideas to paper, as well as convey technical information to the audience in a clear way. Our workshop ended up receiving high praise, and we have Valerie to thank in part for that!"
"Valerie does a great job adapting her final product to analysts' needs. She clearly tries to comprehend what exactly the researching is trying to accomplish conceptually and uses her design skills to help make it into a visual reality."
"[Valerie did well] working with the product team and CEB Creative guidelines to come up with strong graphics. She did a great job on a visually complicated handout we needed for a meeting, [and] some members referenced that page as a key takeaway of the meeting."
"Our team had a 'wheel' that served as a cornerstone of our research for 2016. Valerie, after a few reiterations, took it offline on her own accord and revamped the wheel to be more clean and comprehendible and presented it back without being prompted."
On Partnership
"She is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I often ask her for advice on how to navigate [design] processes to ensure a smooth design/interaction. She is always available and responds promptly with great advice and ideas."
"Valerie was a helpful partner in this project--she offered input on a number of slides that improved the overall presentation and on the slides where I asked her to use her creativity to find a solution, she came up with some great results."
"Valerie was great to work with. We appreciated her proactive edits and general pleasantness. A great experience!
"[Valerie] consistently provided quick turnarounds for edits, and always made herself available to discuss edits via phone call or email. It was a pleasure working with her!"
"Valerie was super flexible and really generated some great work under very tight deadlines. She was a pleasure to work with too."
On Organization
"This was a high-priority, involved project that kept growing as we went through iterations. The quality was perfect--she took steps I hadn't even thought of--and everything was delivered on time!"
"[This project] was juggled between two product marketers over a busy time of holidays and time off, [Valerie] was able to support and keep us on track."
"Valerie was very patient as we worked to figure out what exactly we needed and was communicative with deadlines and any questions she had."
