"Christina lives and breathes the San Francisco design scene. She’s a sponge, soaking up the latest best practices, while continually honing and refining her considerable skill set, contributing at a very high level conceptually and also practically. She quickly grasps complex UX challenges, understands well the breadth and scope of new projects, and can then iterate on UI design to enhance the best of her theoretical explorations. Beyond those highly covetable skills, Christina is also an incredibly fast and accurate producer, executing concepts and acting as a highly productive member of any digital design team.
