Colleague Reviews

I highly recommend Jen as a product designer. We worked together at Divvy/Bill for two years, where Jen continually took on new challenges and delivered high-quality work. They are a well-rounded designer with strengths in understanding users, identifying core problems, and strategizing flows to solve these problems.

In addition to their design skills, Jen's leadership truly sets them apart: they proactively go beyond their daily duties to build relationships and a positive team culture. Whether onboarding new members, setting examples of design techniques, or holding proactive 1:1s to ensure team operations are effective and inclusive, Jen makes everyone's work better.

Jen will excel in any UX/product design role and will quickly become an essential and beloved member of any team.

Jen is so self-directed and skilled that all she needs is to understand the vision and she will get to work, producing results and empowering others on the team to do the same. I've worked with her for over four years and watched her conduct thorough customer research; lead engaging, large-scale workshops with designers; build design system components and documentation; and mentor countless designers along the way.

Her work ethic is exemplary. She doesn't shy away from large, ambiguous tasks, but embraces them and distills them down into understandable pieces.

Jen is incredible.

Jen is one of the best product designers I've worked with. She takes the research aspect of the job very seriously. She talks to users, and spends time to really think through the implications of those conversations; how to transform them into features that will best serve and delight. She's also extremely thorough. I lost track of the number of times I'd be working on implementing a feature and ask, "but what about this edge case?", only to find that Jen had indeed already considered it. On the rare occasions when I did find a gap worth addressing, she was a willing and eager collaborator—a real pleasure to work with. Jen is the kind of professional that makes me want to be better at my own job.

I had the privilege of hiring and working with Jen for several years at Divvy. During this time, I observed first-hand Jen's creative and technical design abilities, their attention to detail, and ability to collaborate with others. I was consistently impressed by Jen's level of professionalism, talent and creative problem-solving skills.

On top of her skills as a designer, Jen is a delight to work with. As a collaborator, Jen was always accessible and willing to listen to feedback. Working with them was a real pleasure, hope to do so again in the future, and I highly recommend them as a designer.

Jenny was the first UX designer I directly worked with in my entire career, and she definitely helped me see all that I had been missing. At first, I didn't really think having access to designs, or a designer, was going to make that big of a difference - I never did at my previous jobs, and things worked out fine. Jenny quickly showed me how wrong I was - her designs, in-depth knowledge of the features she was designing, and collaborative attitude completely changed my process as QA. I was more informed, able to have her take a second look at something if I thought it was just slightly off, and talk through user experience with her - she took that feedback and would tweak designs as needed. Everything Jenny delivered was well thought out and clear, and she really was the start of working to help improve the process between UX and development, looking for any ways she could help and do things on her end to make things easier for us, even going in and testing with us, visually validating how a feature looked while we deep dived into functionality. Jenny is someone I hope to work with again one day, and who is going to do amazingly well wherever she goes.

I worked with Jen at Divvy for a couple of years. She was our product and development team's designer. I worked with her on a daily basis to scope work, build designs, conduct customer interviews, and do important research.

We built many features in our time together ranging from a getting started guide to onboard new customers, a new bookkeeper role, and a new authentication service for web and mobile.

Overall, I think Jen is an extraordinary coworker and a phenomenal designer. She's unique because cares deeply about doing a great job, she's driven, and she fosters a positive and loving work environment.

I never got the sense from working with Jen that her job was just a job to her. She cared about our customers and wanted to do right by them in every project we completed together. As a result of caring so deeply and always wanting to do a great job, everything we released was something I was proud of. It's hard to find someone who cares so deeply for their craft.

Jen is also special because she's driven. She approached every day with alacrity. Every project with urgency and excitement. She is a powerhouse and I felt very lucky to have her on my/our team.

One specific example is when we built our authentication service to stave off fraud attacks. We went through every UX on Web and Mobile with a fine-toothed comb to make sure every interaction was delightful. I was blown away by her planning skills and innovation in taking something "solved" such as a login screen, and turning it into something unique and wonderful.

Lastly, I miss working with Jen to this day because she was so positive, caring, and fun. She brought a sense of love and family to our team and everyone always had a smile on their faces after interacting with her. She eventually left my team because she was promoted. Although I was very proud of her, I was also crushed because I enjoyed working with her so much.

Overall, you'd be a fool to not go with Jen. She's truly special and will take your team to the next level. If you have any additional questions or would like me to expand on what I've said here, I'd be more than happy to at any time.
