“Amber is one of the most talented researcher that I have worked with. Amber and I are part of the knowledge team in McKinsey, that gave us collaboration opportunities on many projects. As a UX Research Lead, her innovative research provides valuable insights to all our products and she create portfolio collaboration workshops that bring the stakeholders and team members to work together. She is a keen observer and has a curious mind, what stands out in Amber’s approach are the pointed questions she poses that leads the team to focus on the right problems. Her skills and methods make her contributions very constructive in planning the product strategy. I often lean on her expertise for the research planning, her review methods are very objective and her inputs are very valuable. She is a great coach, who is very patient and full of resources and ideas. Every time I work with her I learn something new. Anyone who would get a chance to work with her would feel the same.”
