“I got to work with Ash for a number of years at Columbia as a peer and a manager. Everything she worked on was well thought out and she paid extraordinary attention to detail. I could always count on Ash to pickup a project and bring it over the finish line. She is always aware of the user and advocates for them while meeting the needs of stakeholders, the business and the platform restrictions.

While she focused on a traditional UX Design for most of her tenure at Columbia, she jumped in on Design System work and her skills really shined! She enabled the teams’ success with all the empathy and excitement that she first brought to the consumer.“

“I had the pleasure of working alongside Ash during our time at Columbia Sportswear, where she served as the Principal UX Designer. From the moment I joined the team, she warmly embraced and mentored me, providing invaluable guidance and support as I navigated the complexities of our projects.

Her commitment to excellence and her deep understanding of UX research and design systems were evident in everything she did. Ash consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and a passion for delivering exceptional user experiences. Her insights and expertise were instrumental in shaping our team's approach and driving the success of our projects.

Ash is not only a talented UX designer but also a reliable and supportive team member. Her presence was a consistent bedrock for our team, and her contributions were truly invaluable. I have no doubt that she will continue to excel in her future endeavors and I wholeheartedly recommend her for any UX design role.”

“I enthusiastically recommend Ash, my former colleague on the UX Design Team at Columbia Sportswear. Ash is an exceptional designer with a keen eye for detail, demonstrating outstanding organizational skills and professionalism. Their expertise in running UX workshops not only showcased creativity but also fostered collaboration within the team.

Ash's commitment to excellence and effective communication make them a valuable asset to any design-related role. I highly recommend Ash for their exceptional skills and positive impact on projects.

I cannot recommend Ash enough and hope our paths cross again in the future.”

“Ash is an excellent UX Designer. She was partnered with my software developers for years across numerous different projects, teams, and surface areas. She's consistent, level-headed, collaborative, and overall a joy to work with.

Literally every time one of my teams heard that she'd be working with them on a project, the response was unanimously "Yay! Ash is great. This will go well." Any team would be lucky to have her onboard.“

“Ash is such a pleasure to work with. She asks all the right questions, is incredibly thorough and always shows up ready to tackle problems. She is a UX designer by nature, but it is also clear that she nurtures the craft as well. Really enjoyed my time working along side her. “

“Ash is an amazing UX designer. We worked together when I was working on implementing components for Adobe Experience Manager where the design is... well... rough with the things we could do and not.. Ash was always available to help modify designs to get the best out of the site for the users and to keep the components within the ability of AEM to deliver.

Ash's attention to detail is stunning. Not one interaction occurred in which she did not point out some detail that had been overlooked or simply not documented. It was spooky sometimes, but I used her as my final vetting point before starting to code.

Ash is also a great and positive co-worker. I am happy to have worked with her. Really YOU want her on your team and we miss her.”

“Ash is a skilled and seasoned designer who particularly excels in project and process management. Ash brought fresh thinking, organization, and energized collaboration to our team at Columbia. She was a pleasure to work with!”
