I’ve come to know her as a phenomenal community manager and incredible partnerships representative. It’s obvious when talking to her that she cares deeply for Design Buddies and her role as a thought leader. Though it is the world’s largest community of UX Designers, she’s not afraid to lead her Buddies with joy and happiness.
