Testimonials

Kind words from colleagues and clients

Le can do it all. With confidence. With passion. With a smile on her face. It's been really inspiring for me to see how smoothly Le can context switch throughout a busy day from broad lead responsibilities to the weeds of design minutiae with an expert level understanding of Figma and some of the best ideas I've seen for items needing quick/small fixes.

One of Le’s greatest strengths is her thoroughness; if I need help or have a question, she goes above and beyond in her response. [...] She’s immensely reliable, caring, and an absolute joy. An additional strength I’d like to mention is her thoughtfulness and communication skills. I feel like we’ve developed a good relationship in such a short amount of time.

In the context of an engagement, being reliable even at the 11th hour is a rare, yet crucial, skill needed to engender trust amongst one's team and clients. My experience working with Le on Circuit cemented the trust I have towards her in these moments, whether we are on an internal project or in the client trenches.
