Lys showed immense growth as a designer and always asked the right questions to understand how to best deliver ambiguous projects she was given. I could always count on her to juggle multiple design projects at the same time and deliver them in a timely and high-quality manner. She is incredibly user-centric and constantly advocates for features and improvements that prioritize the user's experience. She created Twill Care's design system and redesigned our full application, which has been a game-changer. Her work has left a lasting impact, allowing us to scale efficiently. Lys is collaborative, open-minded, and dependable and is a valuable asset to any team.

Thanks to Lys for driving progress by setting up and leading important convos. She's a true embodiment of what a modern designer ought to be: a bringer of clarity!

Alyssa joined my team at Livongo during a large initiative. She ramped up and took on challenges with a positive attitude, learner’s mindset, and calm steadfastness. Her passion for whole-person health and behavioral change was tangible in all of her work, whether it was proposing high-impact ways to enhance the user experience, or giving talks about how to apply the mechanics of time perception in design. Alyssa is clear on what she wants and has a passion for life that is contagious. I highly recommend her for any team.

Alyssa is one of the most organized, communicative and efficient designers I’ve ever worked with. Coming to HomeAdvisor with minimal professional experience, Alyssa was able to hit the ground running, overhauling design systems, taking on major initiatives, and becoming an invaluable resource for our engineering team. Her design work was always delivered on time and fully aligned with our stakeholder expectations - often recommending ideas/solutions far beyond the original scope of work.

Sr. PD @ Octave
Thankful for Lys being such a thoughtful design partner - always giving exceptional feedback, pushing for high quality, and advocating for better client and provider experiences. She's helped our team level-up in SO MANY ways. She's inspiring and a joy to work with!

Lys is an incredibly thoughtful and talented designer - she always goes above and beyond to give our community the best tools and features to care for their conditions. She's a delight to work with and I know she will make a lasting impact at any company she joins.

Acknowledging Lys's amazing work to make our design system more semantic! Not only will this greatly improve the design workflow, but the engineering workflow as well! This has been complicated work, but she has knocked it out of the park!

When I think about Alyssa as both a scholar and professional, I'm forced to reframe my idea of what it means to “do one’s best”. To say she is a highly focused and motivated individual would be a criminal understatement. I was blown away by her senior capstone, which focused on the re-design of ER waiting areas (physically and philosophically). It was one of the most impressive final deliverables I’ve ever seen an undergraduate offer. It is clear to me that Alyssa has a deep and nuanced understanding of interdisciplinarity in design. Her international experience, her technical skillset, and the exuberance she brings to her projects would make her an invaluable asset to any organization smart enough to trust in her creative energies and unmatchable work ethic. It is students like her that make working in the field of education so worthwhile.

I appreciate the way that she communicates, as I haven't experienced this strong of an understanding from my previous mentors. She is truly a good teacher!
