“I've had the pleasure of working with Cindy as her manager at Meta. Cindy's brilliance extends beyond individual design. She is a master of collaboration, building bridges between teams with her infectious enthusiasm and dedication. Her ability to translate complex ideas into actionable plans fosters seamless communication with engineers, product managers, marketers, sales agents and executives. I've witnessed firsthand how Cindy's collaborative spirit fosters a culture of shared ownership.

“I worked with Cindy developing financial services products at PagoNXT, an innovation branch of Santander. She excels in her role as Senior Designer, performing a range of duties from initial research and analysis to pixel perfect designs and developer liaison. This is what you'd expect. She gives much more than that. We are an international team, and she organises design team meetings, workshops with the wider stakeholders, liaises with partner organisations and manages tool suppliers. Cindy is a pleasure to work with and I can honestly say I can't remember seeing her without a smile. I highly recommend Cindy and suggest she is ready for the next level up in her career.”

“I had the pleasure of hiring Cindy and eventually stealing her talents for my team at Banco Santander. Cindy was instrumental as both a leader and executor as we helped the bank embark on a new era of customer-centricity and start-up mindsets to rapidly iterate and deliver innovative, breakthrough customer experiences and business models. She was a trusted design-minded confidant of leadership around the world as they evaluated means to capture customer insights and test customer needs. She helped teams in the Americas and Europe build strategies to reach new customers and outlined the path to evaluate the market with little investment and risk exposure. Furthermore, she helped these teams, either through coaching or direct hands-on leadership to source and manage talent, internally and externally, to build the experiences and tests and would set in motion the follow-up actions from those in-market tests to iteratively build confidence with minimal investment. And in addition to her professional contributions to our team's successes and learnings, she was active in building and nurturing team culture and helping us be more effective as a unit and individuals. I would love for an opportunity to learn from and work with Cindy again and can't wait to see what she continues to accomplish!”

“Cindy is a super talented designer and I'm very pleased to have shared my experience with her during my time in PagoNxt. She's very good at analyzing problems and deep-diving into data, qualitative and quantitative research, prototyping, and testing. Apart from her remarkable professional skills, I must highlight that Cindy is also a great team member, always willing to help, super proactive, positive, and a hard worker. I highly recommend having someone like Cindy in any design team.”

“Cindy is the only designer I’ve managed at Sabre that can attain any goal or obstacle you give her. She makes cognitive leaps of ability that I’ve never seen anyone else do in recent memory. You could easily give her an entire product or a role two levels above where you think she should be, and she’ll attain it in an astonishingly short amount of time. She currently owns and leads the UX/UCD process for our airline logistics division while assisting in a total redesign of another core Sabre product. She’s also our lead facilitator for Design Sprints, a 5-day process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers. Here are some of Cindy’s defining characteristics that have made her an invaluable member of my team: Driven: Cindy is highly self-motivated, fueled by an incredible work ethic. She’s flexible, organized, manages her time well, and has a keen sense of deadlines. What impresses me the most is her ability to operate within one of our largest product suites while consistently making efforts to drive change, innovation, and incorporate UX best practices to the team. A love of learning: Cindy has a real need to learn and understand. She’s always been passionate about her professional interests. She has a sincere desire to improve her skills through continuous learning, using various resources and information to gain perspective. She’s perfect in an environment that requires her to learn something new in a challenging timeline. Her current pursuits involve front end coding, design sprints and cultural research. Collaborative: Cindy is all about open communication, collaboration, accountability and transparency. She enjoys relationship building and forging deep connections with people. She likes to understand their point of view, putting her focus on team dynamics and delegation. Her annual involvement in World Usability Day, Sabre Pattern Library Events and Design Sprint Week are excellent examples of her willingness to be a team player. Candid: Cindy is one of the few designers I manage that can communicate professionally to all levels of business and product. It’s a big reason why she’s managing an entire product suite on her own. She knows how to handle pushback. She reaches practical compromises without sacrificing the needs of her customers or the bottom line. ------ Cindy is a rock star who successfully performs at an independent and team level here at Sabre. Very few UX designers I know have as much promise as she does. She’s has a real shot at being one of the very best our discipline has to offer, and encourage anyone reading this to invest in her future. She’s a titan in the making.”

“Cindy is one of the most creative and knowledgable graphic designers that I have worked with. She is very knowledgeable with PowerPoint and video editing and works very well with developing PowerPoint presentations videos, graphics, logos, and flyers. I highly recommend her and I intend to use her again in the future.”

“Cindy is a creative and enthusiastic marketer who is eager-to-learn and quick to pick-up new ideas and concepts. She is able to work independently and efficiently, and her projects are always completed accurately, on-time and on-budget. Cindy is also a good collaborator and contributor – able to work well with other people and across cross-functional teams. I would hire her again if the opportunity were to arise, and any organization would be lucky to have her as part of their team!”
