"Piper excels by consistently advocating for good design principles and user feedback. Even when faced with the commitment of multiple product leaders to a particular idea, Piper skillfully pushes back while maintaining positive relationships with her peers. Her ability to navigate these dynamics shows her strength as a design leader, ensuring that we maintain a user-centric focus and quality of design remain at the forefront, even when teams are moving quickly and focused on feature delivery."

"Piper is always up-front, honest and transparent with me. She'll give me a heads up on things when it's appropriate and likely to make my life easier. She's created an environment that allows me to feel comfortable discussing anything with her and I can always be my authenticate self."

"I've always enjoyed the time that we've worked together. Piper [took] over the research functions in a way that not only made the team feel good about their future [at Stack], but also continued to intellectually stimulate them. I'm always impressed (literally, always) with the design workshops that her team puts together. Without fail, they are well-planned and get me to think in new and different ways. It doesn't happen that everyone in the team does something that well, unless there's a uniting force in the form of a manager who pushes them to, and that speaks highly for Piper. I know that any project that Piper is on will be executed with a high degree of quality."
