Human-governedAI-poweredDesigning for everyone

Isabella has a surprising breadth of skills in which she has actual demonstrated expertise rather than simple ability. We rely on her for everything from pixel perfect visual designs to accessibility training, to the creation of logos and logo guidelines. I am lucky to not only be able to rely on the quality of her end product, but also be able to learn more from her than I have from perhaps any other designer I have worked with.

Isabella is a highly talented, multifaceted designer. She possesses a rare depth and breadth of design abilities that make her exceptional at tackling the most challenging design projects. At HCLSoftware, Isabella took on a seemingly intractable branding problem of creating a shared brand across over twenty distinct product families. She delivered a visually impactful set of logos with simple, pragmatic enhancements to the existing brands by collaborating across the product design teams and creating strategic guidelines that set us up for future growth.

Isabella worked effectively with the software developers to design and implement high quality web pages, intuitive application flows and clear, reusable components. Her passions for design and accessibility shine through her work. Her abilities to deliver, and to lead the delivery of, first class designs and components, give me no hesitation in recommending her for any design leadership role.

Isabella designs for humans, no matter how big the organization is. And she drives and enables her team with such a grace and good vibe that it reduces 3 continents, 11 timezones and 2 oceans into a technical anecdote. She always challenges herself and others, constantly learns as well as teaches. I worked with her for over 3 years as contractor of HCLTech and she is one of my favorite go-to’s to this day. If you have a chance, you really want her around.

I highly recommend Isabella as a thoughtful and responsible colleague who consistently demonstrates professionalism and sound judgment in her work. She regularly goes out of her way to support others, making her a dependable and valued member of any team.

Isabella really impressed me during her time at d.MBA. She stands out for her work ethic and her ability to think through problems from every angle. She’s detailed, strategic, and always focused on the ‘why’ behind the work.

Thank you, your talk was truly inspiring! Your introduction about the human aspects made us all realize that accessibility applies to and affects all of us. Moving on to guidelines, examples and direct tips was an incredibly good scheme, and I’m sure many will go back and think about how they work now.

Your deep knowledge of accessibility was evident throughout, and the way you translated that expertise into sessions was great. We’ll reach out again as we continue to build on the foundations and practices you shared with us.

You made it the highlight of my calendar over the past few months. This series happens to be one of the best I have ever attended. Thank you for the immense effort you put into making this so engaging and for helping us understand the ‘why’ behind inclusive design.

Your training sessions were amongst the best I have attended.

The first session will make people want to come back to attend the rest of the course. Even those with expertise in this area asked questions and grew their knowledge significantly. 5 stars, would recommend.

I think the best education someone can offer is when it’s about something they truly love. I think it was one of the best kickoff sessions of a training series I ever attended.

[…] With her expertise and approach you understand how [inclusive design] is actually liberating rather than restrictive. […] Both the content and delivery hit home on a human level that changes the conversation […] giving you context, motivation and practical steps to start.
