Kind Words + Testimonials

  • Pooja and I worked together on multiple projects all the way from our MBS grad program at Rutgers to working with clients like Return Soon. It’s always been a pleasure! We end up having a ball working on projects together because she blends so well with all kinds of people. She’s an A+ team player and listens to clients, users and builds beautiful user-centric designs. The project we collaborated on needed branding, a refreshing new design, flows and also needed to be integrated with code, which Pooja took the lead for and delivered seamless and beautiful designs.
