It was a pleasure working with Mari Gonzalez. Her designs were thoughtful and customer centric with a modern flair. She was very collaborative with our developers and consistently partnered with them to take her initial renderings and convert them to dev ready designs that took technological limitations into consideration. She has a passion for continuous growth and improvement and her teammates were accustomed to her soliciting feedback on her designs and processes as well as areas for personal improvement. If you are looking for someone to come up with beautiful designs taking customer needs and technical limitations into consideration, I would encourage your organization to consider Mari.

Mari brings a fresh, youthful attitude to her work that is sorely needed in the construction software industry. She is competent with technology herself and is able to apply those skills to her work. Over the years that I have worked with her, I've seen Mari's hard and soft skills grow--- she is particularly capable with user research. She's incredibly approachable and excited to learn new things. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for her!

Mari is a great example of someone who embodies what a teammate should be. She began her career as an intern at BT and quickly grew her skills to become a product designer. She is well rounded and her ability to think outside the box is vey admirable. Mari keeps everyone laughing with jokes but still remains serious and works hard. I love her passion and drive to continue learning and ability to overcome obstacles. Her work is always precise and thorough. She will continue to make a tremendous impact anywhere she goes.

I had the pleasure to work with Mari for over a year and a half and was always impressed with her natural curiosity, empathy for the users she designs for as well as a willingness to learn and ask for help. Time and time again Mari made sure to connect with me about things she worked on that would overlap with my work and keep me informed of the work she was doing, as well as how it would impact the broader user experience. Her humor and kindness were always recognized and I appreciate the time we were able to work together. She’s an excellent designer who is eager to grow and learn and consistently ensures she supports all of her teammates.

Mari brings a great attitude to projects with a friendly smile, lighthearted humor, and most importantly a desire to deliver a first-class experience to our users. She puts in the effort needed to make the best product she can and won't settle for less than striking the ideal balance between functionality and aesthetics. We may work in a different industry than our users, but she takes the time to understand their domain by interacting directly with them on a regular basis both virtually and in person, resulting in intuitive interfaces that they are able to quickly understand and that effectively streamline their daily work. I certainly look forward to the opportunity to work on a team with her again!
