    Giovanna worked with The Hope Learning Center to redesign our proprietary compliance and documentation software. Her thorough understanding of UX/UI factors, and her deep background with design made our work together simple. She is patient and reliable. She learned about our industry and internal processes and workflows quickly, and developed a powerful understanding of our needs and vision. Giovanna is clearly an expert in her field. Her design work is beautiful, but her people work is even more exceptional.

    Giovanna has my highest recommendation. If you're in need of UX/UI support, hire her!

  • Michael Becker PM@UBER

    Giovanna has an uncanny ability in getting down to the root of a user experience problem by working directly with the customers using the applications. She helped turn around a redesign of an existing application riddled with user experience issues into a successful, rebranded platform for our customers.

    I would highly recommend her for similar projects that need someone to help solve user experience issues.
