Recommendations

Crystal was the lead designer and developer for the revamp of the Street Sheet website. She led stakeholder meetings, created design mockups, prototyped her designs in code, and migrated our site in a smooth and timely manner. She also created easy to understand documentation for our team where none existed before. I would highly recommend Crystal as a skilled and able design professional who would be an amazing asset to any team. She was incredibly organized, detailed, and was able to implement designs and modifications just the way we had requested them.

-- Samantha Lew, Policy Director at Street Sheet

If you’re looking for a talented, hardworking, and thoughtful designer, look no further than Crystal.
Crystal joined our team at a critical and high-pressure time and immediately delivered results. She produces actionable designs that balance near-term goals with a long-term vision in a way that far surpasses her years of experience. Her background in CS, specifically front-end development, enabled her to quickly understand our modern tech stack and consistently ship beautiful, yet developer friendly designs. She’s also a pleasure to have around the office and brings a positive and optimistic attitude to work that’s simply contagious.
I’d fully recommend Crystal in any capacity and hope to work with her again in the future.
