“This is a very complex project... and somehow Max jumped in and ramped up incredibly quickly. She stayed close to the eng team and often comes up with multiple solutions and actively seeks feedback to make sure we are making the best design decisions possible. This was the night/day shift we needed and the whole team has recognized this.”

“Max is one of the most communicative and inclusive design partners I’ve worked with, excelling at framing ambiguous problem spaces and driving long-term, system-level solutions. She is a source of truth and positivity, always pushing for the user’s POV and delivering high-quality designs at an impressive pace, benefiting multiple teams and surfaces.”

“Max has a challenging job of managing multiple steering committee leaders expectations... She was pivotal in framing the design concept, coming up with multiple options around the designs with trade offs involved. She was instrumental in helping make a decision and used her influence in driving the design judgement as well. She is highly adaptive to constant changes and at the same time manages her priorities well in ensuring project success"

“Max is one of the strongest mentors I’ve ever had... This project was risky because it was a proactive project that was not requested by any stakeholders. It ended up informing my product team’s sprint and our roadmap, and it was presented at the leads level. The impact of my project was influenced by Miao’s mentorship, especially through showing me examples of how she put together a journey map and how it impacted a sprint.”
