“Devi is a true visionary who is both innovative and methodologically rigorous (a rare combo!)
I called Devi our "Mary Poppins" because she sprinkles a little magic wherever she goes, leaving every person, team, and project better than she found it.
During her time at Freckle, she successfully advocated for new tools and processes to make us leaner and faster, always advocated for the needs of the end-user, and was always a joy to work with.”
“Devi was one of the people we would “fight” over when we were resourcing projects. She was always in high demand and at the top of the list. Incredibly prolific, her portfolio reflects the quality inherent in her work. With a consistently positive attitude, she would find unique, clever and efficient ways to solve daunting problems. Brainstorming sessions with Devi were productive and pleasurable—she’s incredibly creative, but almost just as important, she is an egoless collaborator. It was almost effortless to act as Devi’s direct report. She eagerly absorbed new skills and abilities, which made her one of the most versatile talents the studio ever had.”
“Devi is one of the most passionate and productive designers I know! I had the great fortune of being her design partner at Freckle. While building product features to help students learn math and reading skills, I found myself learning so much from Devi!
She taught me lean approaches for conducting discovery and iterating on designs. She developed practical tools to help our team move quickly toward user-centered solutions. Devi is an amazing collaborator and problem solver. In brainstorms and critiques, she always had thoughtful input and creative ideas to share. And she has an incredible ability to organize and facilitate workshops that are both engaging and productive.
Devi is the kind of designer who has a positive, lasting impact on any team she joins!”
