" I've had the pleasure of mentoring Makenna on her User Experience capstone project, and I’ve been consistently impressed by her talent, work ethic, and dedication. She has a solid grasp of UX principles and communicates in the language of design with clarity and confidence. Her background in graphic design gives her a sharp visual eye, which shows in the polished, thoughtful work she produces. What really stands out about Makenna is her ability to take feedback with maturity and use it to elevate her work. She approaches problems with curiosity and care, always keeping the user and client needs front and center. Makenna would be a valuable asset to any UX team — driven, insightful, and deeply committed to delivering meaningful user experiences. "
