“If you're looking for a technically skilled designer with tremendous leadership potential, Tanya should be at the top of your list. Tanya led a team of four students through an ambitious, creative, and challenging mixed reality project using Magic Leap One at the Pacific Science Center (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m8oiNOkL3Q). As lead designer, Tanya prototyped the experience and story, gathered and analyzed user data, and overall ensured that the user experience was top notch. Tanya emerged as a the team lead naturally and managed to get her team mates to rally together and successfully build software for a platform none of them had experience with. With Tanya's leadership, the team demoed to over 100 users and the user feedback helped refine and improve the end experience. One of the many things that stood out in our interactions over the six months of the projects was how well Tanya responded to feedback and how she ensured that the rest of the team delivered. I look forward to seeing Tanya's career rise in the future.”
