A jar full of kind notes

She has a unique ability to adapt to any type of work environment, from mission driven startups, to multi national companies. I've never worked with anyone with Sharon's level of integrity, care, support, curiosity and passion for tremendous work that delights and makes a real impact in the world.

Mark Boardman

Sharon articulates her design work through highly focused story-telling, and has no problem clearly communicating end to end user flows. Sharon is an incredible designer, a customer evangelist, and a no-brainer to hire for UX/product design roles.

Ryuchi Hirano

Sharon is a talented UI/UX Designer with additional strengths in brand identity creation and graphic design to support sales and marketing initiatives. I've always been able to rely on her to work independently and quickly. Sharon is a great team member who cares about us as people, and cares about how she can support success in our roles and of our company.
