Here is a collection of feedback I've received throughout my career.
Head of Design @ Octave
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!
Senior Product Manager @ Sketchy
Lys brought a deep empathy for our customers, paired with strong internal organization and operational efficiency, to our team. I was consistently impressed by the thoughtful questions she asked and research she conducted to truly understand user needs, as well as by the methodical way she approached her work. Her careful planning and holistic perspective made our development process more streamlined. She is open-minded, collaborative, and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Senior Product Manager @ Twill
Lys showed immense growth as a designer and consistently asked the right questions to understand how best to deliver on ambiguous projects. She reliably juggled multiple design efforts and delivered high-quality work on time. She is deeply user-centric, led the creation of Twill Care’s design system, and redesigned the full app, enabling efficient scaling. Lys is collaborative, open-minded, dependable, and a valuable asset to any team.
Director of Product Design @ Teladoc
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.
Group Product Manager @ ANGI
Alyssa is one of the most organized, communicative, and efficient designers I’ve ever worked with. Coming to HomeAdvisor with minimal professional experience, she 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 stakeholder expectations, often recommending solutions beyond the original scope.

UI Student @ CareerFoundry
I appreciate the way she communicates, as I haven’t experienced this level of understanding from previous mentors. She is truly a great teacher.
Staff Product Designer @ 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!
Senior Software Engineer @ Sketchy
Lys is a thoughtful and creative designer with strong user empathy and attention to detail. She communicates clearly, collaborates seamlessly across teams, and delivers solutions aligned with user needs and brand goals. It was a pleasure working with her, and I can’t wait to see what she builds next.
Frontend Engineer Lead @ Octave
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!
Brand Director @ Twill
Lys is an incredibly thoughtful and talented designer who consistently goes above and beyond to give the community the best tools and features to care for their conditions. She’s a delight to work with and will make a lasting impact at any company she joins.
Senior Android Developer @ ANGI
It's rare to encounter a designer who gives equal attention to all platforms. I'm accustomed to Android being neglected, but Lys took the time to learn the conventions and designed accordingly. Not only did she make development easier, she also created a better final product!
Academic Advisor @ Drexel University
When I think about Alyssa as both a scholar and professional, I'm forced to reframe what it means to “do one’s best.” To say she is highly focused and motivated would be an understatement. Her senior capstone on redesigning ER waiting areas was one of the most impressive undergraduate projects I’ve seen. Alyssa’s deep understanding of interdisciplinarity, her technical skillset, and the energy she brings to her work make her an invaluable asset to any organization.
CEO @ Startup Wars
Alyssa performed extremely well during her time at Webjunto, and was able to complete her tasks in a creative and inspiring fashion. She outperformed in taking specifications as given and turning them into amazing products with little direction needed.
