Reviews
Don't take only my word, but the feedback from former colleagues. I thrive collaborating with others, as each team member offers a different perspective. I've worked with C-level, engineers, developers, marketing teams, and product owners across-platform experiences.

Former Direct Manager @ ENGIE Insight
Michelle is a highly skilled UX Researcher whom I had the pleasure of managing for four and a half years. She is a tireless advocate for users and consistently delivers high-quality work.
She is skilled in a variety of research methods, from usability testing to in-depth interviews. Her ability to synthesize large amounts of data into clear, actionable insights was invaluable to our team, and her expertise has helped us make significant improvements to our products.

Former Senior Manager @ ENGIE Insight
Michelle is an amazing team member and just brilliant. As lead at Engie Impact for the customer research and user experience team, Michelle was always willing to jump in and guide the team in understanding our customers' needs, defining opportunities, and reporting. In addition, Michelle has a passion for gaining new knowledge and developing additional skills, and then using the latest information for the company's betterment.
I highly recommend Michelle for any organization looking for a self-starter and passionate research or user experience team member.
Tressa Randolph - Senior Product UX Designer
Former Direct Report @ Blue Nile Inc.
Calling Michelle a User Experience Lead seems like a massive understatement of her skill and experience. Since her first day at Blue Nile, she has championed user-centered design throughout the company and successfully driven a wide variety of efforts to improve the user experience across all Blue Nile applications.
Michelle is a true unicorn – a full-stack UX Manager with skills including information architecture, interaction design, SEO, interface design, data & analytics, and user testing. She works tirelessly to coordinate with multiple product teams and stakeholders in all departments to meet business requirements and keep projects moving forward at a smart pace. She employs her positive, solution-oriented attitude and passionate advocacy of the customer to design intuitive experiences that have a measurable impact on the business.
A true leader and mentor, Michelle also goes to extraordinary lengths to support her team, encouraging their personal and professional growth and education. She strives for excellence in her own work and inspires others to rise to the same challenge. Working as her direct report has been an amazing experience, and I feel genuinely blessed to have had the opportunity.

Former Team Member @ Microsoft
Michelle is a very well-rounded and driven individual that brings laser focus to everything she works on. Michelle’s passion, competence, and drive are always welcomed addition to any project we work on together. For example, she was critical in improving the website usability of the websites she managed at Trustworthy Computing.
Michelle’s expertise in website usability, design, and user interface design is very evident during our meetings with our stakeholders. She was a key contributor to our success for the last two years and is a great teammate that I would want on my team for any high-visibility work that had to be done right.
