Words of Appreciation

Words of Appreciation

Greta shows up every day with 110% wholeheartedness. She is a deep listener, she has a consistent commitment to understanding, and she has an intentional reason behind every design decision.

– Founder, Nomadic Development

Greta and I worked together to build custom software application products. As the head of the custom software department at Greenstone she was excellent at managing the product timelines and work flow necessary to keep clients happy. She also led all development of UI/UX design for the projects she managed. She is a fast learner and is not afraid to ask questions when necessary. She is very passionate about usability and making sure that the product is what the client needs, and what their users expect. She is also great with keeping up with clients and making sure they feel heard and understood, and very adept at turning that client feedback into actionable items.

– CTO, Greenstone Media

Greta is a superstar. Ever since she came to CFC, she's been working on untangling some of our messiest problems in terms of how we can help clients find and use our content best, and she's done it thoughtfully, efficiently, creatively, and with a lot of compassion. She's a wonderful colleague, too--always contributing valuable insights to meetings and conversations and respecting others in the room. We're lucky to have Greta, and I feel fortunate to work with her.

– Content Strategist, Committee for Children

I have had the privilege of working with Greta over the past two years. I highly recommend you grab any opportunity to work with her! She brings such a powerful presence to any group. She carries a gentle spirit alongside a fierce commitment to collaboration and inclusion. She is fearless in her leadership and a staunch advocate of the relational. She will bring new insights and wisdom to any project she is participating in. You will find her to be a valued collaborator and trusted ally.

Greta has delivered

excellent results while being a caring and compassionate human on our team. It's difficult to overstate the value of individuals like Greta to an organization as they are such a huge part of the culture and experience of working at CFC. Neither our products or our workplace would be the same without her.

– Design Manger, Committee for
Children

Greta excels at breaking down big, messy UX problems and transforming them into useful and usable solutions for our users. Her confidence in presenting her work has continues to mature as she's able to tell a story around the problem she's trying to solve and potential solutions to it that makes the UX process more approachable and gets stakeholder participation and buy-in. Greta also continues to conduct excellent user research, often under tight timelines.
