Self-Development

Whitney was one of the best IA's I've had the pleasure to work with on a number of projects. She's brillant, strategic and a real team player. I highly recommend Whitney for tops in IA/UX.

As a developer, it relieves a lot of stress to have someone who can bridge effectively between design, client, and back end considerations, and that person has to be adept and empathetic to all concerned parties. Whitney consistently impressed me with her ability to understand and accommodate programming issues as this is often one of the more opaque parts of the process for anyone who doesn't do it directly.

Her understanding of basic concerns as well as specific capabilities (and limitations) of the technologies involved ensured that every project we worked on together was executed to its potential.
She's an invaluable resource for any technology driven assignment.

Whitney proved herself to me in a very short period of time as a very capable and insightful interaction designer. She provided sound recommendations on customer user flows, content hierarchy, best practices for site design, and much more.

In the case of one project (which she now appears on the patent for) she not only led the interaction design, but proved herself as the primary go-to for all consumer research and usability testing. After the project was over, she retained the knowledge so well and debriefed the new clients so thoroughly, that they dubbed the meeting a "VH1 Behind the Music" session!

Working with Whitney changed my perception about what an Interaction Designer / Information Architect really brings to the table. Her understanding of the user and how to design the best experiences for them is a no brainer. But the real kicker is how she conceptualizes an idea that started on a dinner napkin. She takes a "What if" and turns it into a fully flushed out site design. It's a very unique creative skillset that anyone would be priviledged to collaborate with.

I worked with Whitney on a challenging and complex project. Her insights and innovation against the stated goals of the project were inavluable to a the successful outcome we achieved. And she's a whole lot of fun to be around too! I would welcome Whitney on any team and expect that she would be a valuable contributing member.

Renaissance woman is probably the best way I can describe Whitney. She’s versatile, intelligent, and talented—all qualities that make her well equipped for the world of interaction design and interactive marketing. Whitney and I worked briefly but intensely on a very innovative project which required us to be flexible and forward thinking. I enjoyed working with her and would recommend her in a heartbeat as she is a valuable asset to any company she works for.

Whitney is remarkably poised, confident, and knowledgeable. Not only did she do an excellent job designing an innovative transactional flow on the project we worked together on, she also provided expertise on the approach to usability testing. She's very good with clients at the director and VP-level; her knowledge is evident and they trust her guidance. She's more confident in client discussions than many people who are senior to her. I have no doubt that she's going to be a leader in the field. I would absolutely welcome the opportunity to work with Whitney again.

Whitney is a bright, outspoken, young professional who I had the pleasure of partnering with on key applications for American Express that were built in flash. I would highly recommend Whitney as an interaction designer who is well grounded in the field and has a brisk and competent approach to complex projects.

Whitney is a rare gem: personable, professional and incredibly talented. Her grasp on user-centric design is fantastic, but what's better is how contagious she is with her enthusiasm and passion for great work. I'd have her on any team at the drop of a hat.

Whitney is extremely knowledgeable about the nature of interactive application development and is consistently able to maintain focus on the most important issues while adapting on the fly to the sorts of changes that invariably arise at inopportune times. As a developer it's incredibly valuable to be working with someone with her ability and her departure from DTAS has underscored that point, to our loss.
