Recommendations

I had the pleasure of working with Christabel in product design and was consistently impressed by three things: her data-driven approach to problem-solving, a pragmatic understanding of business needs, and her collaborative nature.


Few designers I've worked with truly understand the user's need and can put that above their own opinions and ego. Christabel's interest in user centric solutions and her passion for her design knowledge sets her apart and for that reason I hope we get to work together again - and in the meantime, she'd be a great addition to any team.

Christabel and I worked together at Meta, and throughout our time as teammates, I was always impressed with her creative, user-centric, rigorous, and data-driven approach to design. She brought a nuanced and highly empathetic user perspective into every conversation, always putting the user first and elevating our products as a result. On top of this, she is an incredible teammate! She excels in cross-functional partnerships/projects, and she proactively solicited feedback and incorporated suggestions from a wide range of (often challenging) stakeholders. It is rare to find a designer you can trust with everything - from timelines, to data, to consensus building, to creating beautiful and functional designs, but Christabel is that person! She always goes above and beyond, and no project is too big or too small. She would make an outstanding addition to any team.
