Endorsements from Industry Leaders
"Shandira embodies excitement for, passion for, and critical thinking around user experience. When working with Propane, she contributed to a variety of experiences from marketing to product across technology, healthcare, and consumer facing apps. In each, she brought a clear command of understanding and applying strategic direction to the design process that resulted in user-friendly, delightful experiences. Her cross-functional background in user experience and development allowed her to contribute in a variety of ways to the team, and ensured she understood clear feasibility constraints as well. Her ability to develop and launch an interactive prototype entirely on her own allowed us to get faster feedback and iteration, ultimately mitigating risk and reducing friction in the experience. Her attitude and communication skills made collaboration an experience to look forward to daily. If given the chance to work with Shandira again, I'd whole-heartedly take it. Excited to see the amazing contributions she'll bring to the world."
