" I enjoyed working with Vanya and valued her contributions to our UX team in both personality and skill. In particular, she's a subject matter expert and true advocate for accessibility considerations in user experience. Among other things, she worked hard as part of the web scrum team to address accessibility audit findings and propose and develop solutions to improve the usability of the site for members. I found Vanya to be a great teammate and I appreciated her positive and professional attitude".

"Vanya has been instrumental in building up the UX and Product design team at Micron. She was part of the team that championed digital brand guidelines, copy decks and wireframes for faster mockups, and overall improvements to the look and feel. I was privileged to have her support some of my new initiatives and I can certainly say that Vanya was always very kind when telling me that I have great ideas that would not work. She will make a great impact to any team she joins!
