Testimonies
"Limassol is an expert in her craft as a product designer. She's incredibly smart and incredibly kind, and she has a brilliant talent for helping everyone she works with improve their skillsets because she's so good at what she does. Limassol and I were tasked with redesigning the contact and audience management feature set at Intuit Mailchimp, a section of the product that users have always struggled with. What impressed me most was her ability to jump in late in the project to help our cross-functional team better define the ideal functionality and design for these features. She always challenged me to expand my thinking, and I know my UX content strategy and copy benefitted from her being on the team. I can highly recommend Limassol as a product designer for any team!

Throughout our collaboration, her work stream ownership was commendable, and she helped our team immensely to navigate a very complex business process. Her suggestions and improvements in our project plans made our work much more efficient and effective. Her contributions on the user research synthesis were insightful, and resulted in a more thorough analysis. She was great at managing time effectively and deliver everything on a tight schedule. It was a pleasure collaborating with her and I am absolutely sure she would be an asset to any team that requires a dedicated & talented UX/UR professional."

"Limassol was a student of mine that made such a good impression I hired her to assist in building out and managing our Elab and be part of the admin for our program. She is conscientious, hard working, bright and a pleasure to work with. She has a deep understanding of human centered design, graphic design and design research coupled with her experience in business management. She would be an asset to any team and she will be missed upon graduation!"

"Limassol was a professor of mine at Parsons for a course in Integrative Research and Development. She effectively taught me how to implement design research strategies into problem discovery and solutions. She helped to give me a clear understanding of design strategies and design thinking. Limassol's passion and enthusiasm was extremely infectious and she helped to encourage the class to delve deep into our research. Being in Limassol's class has been my most significant experience during my time at Parsons."
