I had the pleasure of mentoring Chau as she transitioned from a promising springboard student to a highly skilled and thoughtful designer. Her background and her PhD in Research & Development have given her a deep understanding of the principles that make effective design work. This makes her a complete package in the industry. Not only is she exceptionally smart, but she’s also incredibly thorough, approaching every problem with a rigorous research methodology to ensure that all solutions are well-informed and grounded in data. Her commitment to intensive research and ideation consistently leads to creative and practical designs that meet and often exceed expectations. She is always eager to share her insights and equally receptive to feedback, fostering a dynamic and productive team dynamic. Chau is a standout designer who combines academic rigor with practical creativity and a strong collaborative spirit, and I have no doubt that her contributions will be invaluable to any team she joins.
