  • "Amanda has been a fantastic leader and design strategist for the AI Design Pillar team. She has navigated a very hectic and nonstop workload year while keeping her designers capacity and well-being as well as Dell's priorities at the forefront of her decisions. The AI ship would have more than likely sunk or capsized if she was not at the helm."

  • "Amanda’s performance over the past year has been marked by strategic leadership, impactful collaboration, and awesome commitment to delivering high quality design solutions. Her ability to balance innovative ideas with practical execution has not only enhanced the experience of our customers but also empowered her team to grow and develop as designers. "

  • "Amanda is a boss. She has quietly and effectively driven the strategy for Federal experiences over this last year, despite a lack of clarity or direction from IT leadership. Her ability to build and maintain relationships both within design and with her stakeholders has fostered a very positive engagement with the Seller and Federal teams alike. She has been able to maintain the delicate balance of being a trusted strategic partner, who understands the challenges and limitations of the federal development environment, while also continuously educating them on a user-centered product team model approach and pushing for a better end user experience."

  • "Amanda has been a key resource for continued engagement and sustaining the Federal IT experience. She has strong process and technical knowledge, sense of ownership and takes her role and responsibility seriously. She is creative and quick in her approach. During the intakes submissions, Amanda quickly put together her file on proposed state with current assignments and future state which was the need of the hour. She has expanded her role handling the lead responsibility where she excels in the role. I see her as a strong team members and would like to see more investment in her skills. I wish her success in the year ahead."

  • "Amanda is great at stakeholder management and team collaboration. Our project had a lot of uncertainty, but her work to understand stakeholder expectations has contributed to our success and design impact."

  • “Amanda brings excellent organizational skills to the project. She thinks critically, works with the team to ensure she proposes the best possible solution. I truly appreciate her work ethic and leadership style. She's a joy to work with!”
