"Celia has proven to be an unyieldingly supportive mentor. I’ve had the pleasure of supporting her in her role as a lead designer and reaped indispensable lessons from her mentorship. I felt consistently supported and uplifted by Celia throughout the duration of our time together. She was a vital role model and would continue to be in any given team."

Engineering

"Celia was inventive, meticulous, thorough and communicative. She worked extremely well with engineering. Design assets were beautifully rendered with all the required information needed to communicate dimensions, actions, complex UI interactions, colors, etc. Celia is a pleasure to work with and helps to create a fun, collaborative culture of excellence."

Ambi Sidhu
Boxbee Senior Engineer • 2015
"There is no questioning that Celia has an amazing visual style and artistic design expertise. I was most impressed with Celia's ability to learn new things and quickly go from amateur to expert, for instance quickly learning Adobe After Effects to create a promotional video. Most importantly, she was asked to redesign the CMS system which required both a beautiful but also usable and user friendly product."

Alex Bell
Signal360 CPO • 2014
"Celia was constantly increasing the bar for product design by creating design systems, designing for edge cases, and improving UX flows. Design handoff was a joy, as Celia always provided helpful design documents and annotations that pro-actively clarified any points of confusion. I also appreciated her willingness to pair with engineers to make important improvements for customers."

Kylie Gao

"Celia can take the vaguest of briefs and quickly create beautiful and intuitive designs. The speed at which she works is particularly remarkable.

Research

"Celia was a joy to work with as a partner in the usability lab. Not only was she timely with her PDP desktop layout design prototypes, she was thorough. Her high fidelity designs enabled us researchers to navigate with ease as we interviewed participants and gathered insights using the PDP prototypes that felt like the live web."

Paige Stepovich
Nike User Researcher • 2022
"From the start, it was clear that Celia had a strong grasp of the team's research goals & questions and the experience that they wanted to put in front of Users. The high fidelity designs she produced for testing got us about as close as possible to a true representation of the user interface on Nike.com."
