I had the pleasure of working and collaborating with Nancy for over a year at the Walt Disney Studios. Nancy brings immense value to the table with a collaborative and enthusiastic attitude. She gives necessary detail to areas of product design that can commonly be ignored (killer user flows), and I have seen first hand how our design level has benefited with Nancy leading the charge in several products. Her creativity and attention to UX work in perfect harmony and she would be a phenomenal addition to any project.
