‘’The caliber of Andrea’s talent, integrity, and her decisive, collaborative style of leadership set her apart. Andrea demonstrated this in her one-on-ones with me, and in particular during the tumultuous reorganizations and rebranding of two departments. I saw Andrea receive feedback from affected stakeholders, and lead us with vision and heart to successfully increase revenue (I should know, I handled the numbers).
I have interviewed employee candidates with Andrea, whiteboarded deadlines, presented proposals, and listened to her give design feedback to colleagues and students alike. On all of these occasions, Andrea asked insightful questions, helped clarify goals, and bring out the best in those around her. Andrea is someone I am grateful to have led my team, and I continue to marvel at the depth of knowledge and industry experience across several disciplines: coding, branding, UX, and product design.
She is the kind of employee who, when the furniture hasn’t been delivered, puts her computer on a stool to get to work. She is the manager who fixes a problem when she sees it, even if it is simply repainting a room. She is the mentor who enables you to navigate challenges like career advancement, limited resources, tight deadlines, and team dynamics. Her positive attitude through shifting business priorities is a marvel.
If you have an opportunity to hire Andrea, you should grab it.’’
