“Alison and I worked together at Lenovo UX team. She is one of the most dedicated and nicest people I know. When asked to tackle some of the most complicated flows on the eComm website, she never hesitates to take it on. Collaborating with project managers and other designers, she quickly understands the complicated logic and customer needs, and comes up with not only a beautiful prototype but also a solution that is both practical and problem solving. Alison has great attention to details and understands accessibility needs of designs. I highly recommend Alison, and she would be a great asset for any team. I cherish the times we worked together and hope our path will cross again.”

“Alison is a talented interaction designer, in the true sense of the word. She has a remarkable ability to empathize with and authentically gain the trust of users, which she turns into incredibly unique insights, and then into application designs that are exactly on point. In her time at OrbitalRX, Alison turned the UX of our application from a liability into one of our strongest assets. She built a strong, trusting relationship with the development team, which took a lot of pressure off of me as the CTO ... She was extremely collaborative with me in prioritizing our roadmap and making product decisions, including some painful tradeoffs. And she always brought a positive, energetic attitude that we will sorely miss. I highly recommend Alison to any company that values user experience.”

“Alison has a refined eye for design and understanding of the customer. She was able to make a big impact at Adwerx with significant contributions both to existing products and to designing complex applications from a blank canvas. I can’t wait to see what new designs she brings to life.”

“When a friend introduced me to Alison’s work it seemed obvious that she’d be a great addition to our team, but I never could have predicted how positive her impact would be. Alison quickly assimilated with the team and filled her initial role as a designer, but her ability to ask insightful questions and provide constructive solutions to things we didn’t always recognize as issues was a windfall. She quickly found her way into user research, UX, wireframes, functional definition, and all aspects of product management. In short, she was indispensable. I was lucky to work with Alison; if the opportunity ever arises again, I’ll seize it.”

“Alison is a force to be reckoned with and someone to watch, for sure. She is one of the most consistently talented UX designers I’ve had the pleasure to work with over the years, and it’s been my honor to collaborate with her on multiple projects. I’ve been a UX designer for a very long time, and working with Alison has been a much-needed breath of fresh air for me. Her approach is organized, methodical, and she always goes above and beyond the need. Her attitude is always a joy, and she is an asset to anyone lucky enough to team with her. Her work is fantastic, and her team-player bend brings the best out of everyone around her.”
— Hugh Butler
“Alison is a smart, talented and disciplined designer who always delivered what was asked of her, and beyond. Often when reviewing a design with Alison I’d be impressed by how she took liberties and ran with new ideas of her own, while also executing what was expected. When you work with Alison, you get more than deliverables; she brings a passion for developing her craft and an inclusive mindset to her projects, both of which are apparent to anyone who spends time with her. Working with Alison was a pleasure, and I look forward to seeing what great experiences she delivers in the future.”

“I love working with Alison! She is both a very talented designer and a joy to work with. I work with Alison very closely. She helps to develop and design the product I work on and the collaboration process is really wonderful. She is quick to answer my questions, make adjustments, and seek and provide valuable feedback. She is also invested in keeping current with the newest technology, tools, and ideas in her field... Her designs are beautiful and a joy to build and interact with. I’m lucky to work with someone so dedicated to her job, and so good at it too.”
— Erin Brown
“Alison is a quiet storm. She is diligent, focused and an excellent collaborator. Her design work is thoughtful and always user-centric. She learns new processes and platforms quickly and is generous with her time and expertise with her team. The projects we worked on together were some of the more effective I did, with no small contribution by Alison’s own organization and management of expectations. She also has a fierce entrepreneurial spirit, and is remarkably self-directed.”

“She gives the best belly rubs and always makes sure my water bowl stays full. 10/10 would hire again.”
