Messages from My Professional Cheer Squad
“Sarah was my first hire at ResortPass and an urgent need for the business. She has absolutely leveled up our design and research function in many ways. She really does research well and leverages it to inform the problem solution space.
Sarah has thick skin and is not afraid to speak truth to power. She is also a really great manager—her hiring process is rigorous, her preperation, and day-to-day management is excellent. She is one of the most detail-oriented people I have worked with. She has elevated the product team with these abilities.
Sarah is doing a ton to create culture and connectivity given our remote working environment. This is work that goes unrewarded but she beleives it to be very important (and I agree). I don’t think other leadears are very good at this so I’m glad that Sarah is a champion of it.”
“Sarah is a force for positive change and for the customer's point of view. Her warm, clear and honest opinion is highly regarded and sought after across teams. I admire Sarah's skillful and engaging communication style in the meetings she runs. Her thoughtfulness and cleverness shine through in her explanation of complex ideas or projects.
As a team member, Sarah brings so much fun and positivity to our culture. I look forward to every interaction with her and am thoroughly impressed by her improvements to the customer’s experience.”
Sarah is a passionate design leader who helps others around her grow. I was lucky to work with her at Imperfect Foods where she quickly became someone that I trusted and looked toward for guidance and advice. When I expressed interest in pivoting to Product Design she took the time to provide thoughtful mentorship and career advice. Sarah’s energy and love for the work is contagious. She would be a true asset to any company looking for a leader to build a thriving top-tier design team. I would jump at the opportunity to work on her team in the future!
