Kiki is extremely thoughtful about the approach to tasks that she works on. She wants to understand the goal of each task and why. She always put the user at the centre of what she’s doing and ask some greatquestions that go beyondherremit.

The quality of Kiki's work is always great - she is thoughtful, comprehensive, and intentional in her process and execution. She is a greatteam player and a valued member of the listing team. She is always an advocate for -building and sharing in the wins and contributions of the team.

Kiki is fantastic designer to work with. She's proactive, communicative and passionate about the product she's creating. When I joined the team as EM I was impressed to see that she had 1:1s regularly with the frontend developers to discuss designs and caveats. This helped the team keep up our velocity by catching issues early, before the designs were finalised. Kiki is very flexible, she can work quickly and deliver designs and plans against the clock when required. She's also great at taking constructive criticism, she'll happily make tweaks and changes to designs if the team request them. Aside from her skills as a designer, she's just a lovely person to have in the team. She brings a calming presence to meetings and has been a valued member of the teamleadership. In the time we worked together the changes we made as a team, based on Kiki's vision are so impressive and bring immensevalue to our business and users.

Not afraid to askquestions, open to new ideas, collaborative, always putting the user at heart.
— Product Designer
You have always looked to improve the design of the listing flow and you were never content with how things already were. Without your designs and efforts we couldn't have made such a difference in how easy it is to list within the app. Our team lifted a lot of metrics by quite a significant margin (>5-10% in some cases) and you had a huge part to play in that!
— Senior iOS Engineer
Having Kiki in the team has been a joy. I have seen signs of Kiki pushing herself on a personal level joining the Accountabillibuddy programme and showing willingness to join other internal training.
— Design Manager
Kiki's key strengths are her ability to respond in timepressured environments and also bring good points to the table during team collaborations.
— Product Owner
I think it's great how much interaction Kiki has with engineers, she is very proactive in getting their opinions and finding solutions they will be able to implement. Kiki hosts a lot of workshops, usertesting and design reviews. This really brings the rest of the team in on the process and allows everyone to have some input to help drive what we're building. It's a really positive thing for the team morale as well as our performance. As a collaborator, Kiki is super communicative, flexible, positive.
— Engineering Manager
Kiki is a great designer, who is always open to feedback and will hear it from anyone in the team, tribe or business.
— Senior Product Designer
It's very easy to work with Kiki as a researcher as she is primarily concerned with user problems. Kiki demonstrated this when we worked on the mindsets project which produced artefacts to help the team empathise with our users. Kiki also often develop creative approaches to solutions. For example, after the benchmarking project where we saw users struggle with the listing flow, she took the initiative to design test a new solution in the continuous research work stream involving showing only the most relevant information.
— Senior User Researcher
Kiki had a very good attitude towards collaboration. Willing to learn and improve, open to find solutions with allteam members.
— Lead Developer
Always friendly, approachable enthusiastic and passionate at work.
— Business Analyst
From the very beginning you ran many workshops that brought in the entirepillar together to brainstorm ideas and focus on the big issues with how people list on Depop. Your design process has been methodical and evidence-based. You pushed for doing more userresearch prior to designing a solution (something the company wasn't really doing much), which allowed us to ship designs with more confidence.
While working together you have been really opentofeedback. You've shown your designs early on in the process and asked for opinions from everyone in the team. Not only that, but you listened to these opinions and, when necessary, made updates to the designs.
