I have worked with Anya to build multiple client facing products, and her design work has been fantastic. Building both new products, and growing existing ones, Anya has always been a strong advocate for the end user, and she always keeps an open mind about what they need. Anya has been an incredibly productive team member, and I would highly recommend working with her. Niek Smit, Product Director at Indeed

I am lucky to have had Anya as a mentor. She’s been such a huge help in guiding me through design exercises that she has tons of experience with. Anya has helped me navigate our company, and setting me up for success in collaborating across the organization. I appreciate how thoughtful is with mentorship by showing real examples that relate to my goals. She gave me meaningful feedback on my goals and helped refine them into something actionable, then kept checking in to make sure I had the support I needed, even after our mentorship program concluded. She’s not just an amazing designer but also an incredibly generous and supportive coworker! Shannon Reilly, Product Designer at Toast

I’ve had the incredible honor of working with Anya, and she’s one of the most strategic and thoughtful designers I’ve worked with. She consistently grounds her work in data and user insights, proactively validating both problems and solutions and thinking deeply about where experiences might break down for users. Anya brings a strong point of view to every critique. She asks thoughtful questions, challenges assumptions, and isn’t afraid to influence decisions from the ground up. She’s also an exceptional collaborator, with a strong bias toward action. She brings the right partners in early, creating alignment across teams, and finding ways to unblock work. She’s equally adept across mobile and web, and was one of the earliest designers on our team to embrace AI as part of her workflow. She prototyped early to build alignment, started pushing code early on, and generously shared what she was learning with our broader design and consumer teams through demos and working sessions. What sets Anya apart is her constant drive to take on challenging, high-impact problems and push herself to become a better designer. She combines strategic thinking, strong craft, technical curiosity, and an exceptional ability to collaborate. Any team would be lucky to have her! Michael Hyun, Senior Designer at Toast

"Anya is an amazing designer and team member. She does whatever it takes to make her designs well-informed and never says “that’s not my job.” She dives into the data, does her own user research, and accommodates complicated technical limitations. I’m hopeful we’ll work together again some day!" Bliss Altenhoff, Senior UX Researcher at Indeed

"I had the pleasure of working with Anya across multiple teams and she is one of the most relentless designers I've encountered. She has such a strong heart for the customer and works tirelessly to ensure the products are optimized for them. Each of the products she worked on grew at higher rates vs the company average and Anya was a huge part in that" Dan Conrad, Sr Manager, Program Management
