I worked with Sandra in the capacity of joint team leader in a design sprint for Transport for NSW OPAL public transport app.
Sandra was a pleasure to work with, very easy to get along and a great collaborator and sounding board. She was excellent with forward planning, scheduling and task allocation.
Her direct but kind approach helped ensure that our team always knew what we were doing, what had to be done next and by when, what meetings were on, and who was doing what. This was crucial in dealing with such a large team, to ensure that we could deliver on the brief for the client, and also impress with our final presentation. I certainly couldn't have done it without her!
I would unhesitatingly recommend Sandra for her skills, warmth, and dedication to produce excellent results and welcome the opportunity to work with her again someday!Jared Rechnitzer

I had the pleasure of working with Sandra during 2 month-long client sprints at Academy Xi. Our first sprint, to create the branding and website design for Pinnacle Oak, a new cooperage agency. The second sprint, to transform the Transport NSW Opal app into a one-stop shop trip planner.
During the Pinnacle Oak sprint, Sandra conducted vital user research, which delivered key insights for our 9-member design team to help solve our client’s main problem - building trust within the wine industry. Her keen sense of colour and design aesthetics also contributed to the successful uptake of the branding/website design by our client, Andrew Munro.
During the Transport NSW Opal app project, as joint team leader, Sandra excelled at managing the large 20-member design team, keeping everyone on task and on time for key deliverables throughout our client sprint. She also played a key part in creating compelling UI for a new travel buddy system.
Sandra is very creative, fun-loving, kind and hard-working. Her passion and design talent make her stand out from the crowd.Karen Hansen-Palumbieri

Sandra brings a unique and often sought after element to any team. She's naturally a hard working and ambitious individual, she always strives for excellence and anything less is never something she settles for. However, unlike others who may also share these traits, Sandra is an amazing team player, never competing for individual credit but collective achievement. Sandra also embodies the core tenants of a HCD practitioner, creativity, empathy and solving a problem. It was an absolute pleasure working with Sandra and she'll be a valuable asset to any team

Pattern Maker at Figleaf Clothing and S&R Fashions.
I was fortunate enough to start my career as Sandra’s assistant, where I learned the intricacies of the fashion industry. Sandra’s collaborative approach inspired everyone on the team to reach their full potential.
She taught us the importance of teamwork and customer satisfaction. Her meticulous attention to detail and dedication to excellence consistently led to exceptional results, often exceeding sales targets.
Working with Sandra was a fantastic experience, and I would love to have the opportunity to work with her again. She was an inspiring mentor and a pleasure to collaborate with.Kara Smith
Assistant designer at Mission Brown
I worked with Sandra in the capacity of joint team leader in a design sprint for Transport for NSW OPAL public transport app.
Sandra was a pleasure to work with, very easy to get along and a great collaborator and sounding board. She was excellent with forward planning, scheduling and task allocation.
Her direct but kind approach helped ensure that our team always knew what we were doing, what had to be done next and by when, what meetings were on, and who was doing what. This was crucial in dealing with such a large team, to ensure that we could deliver on the brief for the client, and also impress with our final presentation. I certainly couldn't have done it without her!
I would unhesitatingly recommend Sandra for her skills, warmth, and dedication to produce excellent results and welcome the opportunity to work with her again someday!Jared Rechnitzer

I had the pleasure of working with Sandra during 2 month-long client sprints at Academy Xi. Our first sprint, to create the branding and website design for Pinnacle Oak, a new cooperage agency. The second sprint, to transform the Transport NSW Opal app into a one-stop shop trip planner.
During the Pinnacle Oak sprint, Sandra conducted vital user research, which delivered key insights for our 9-member design team to help solve our client’s main problem - building trust within the wine industry. Her keen sense of colour and design aesthetics also contributed to the successful uptake of the branding/website design by our client, Andrew Munro.
During the Transport NSW Opal app project, as joint team leader, Sandra excelled at managing the large 20-member design team, keeping everyone on task and on time for key deliverables throughout our client sprint. She also played a key part in creating compelling UI for a new travel buddy system.
Sandra is very creative, fun-loving, kind and hard-working. Her passion and design talent make her stand out from the crowd.Karen Hansen-Palumbieri

Sandra brings a unique and often sought after element to any team. She's naturally a hard working and ambitious individual, she always strives for excellence and anything less is never something she settles for. However, unlike others who may also share these traits, Sandra is an amazing team player, never competing for individual credit but collective achievement. Sandra also embodies the core tenants of a HCD practitioner, creativity, empathy and solving a problem. It was an absolute pleasure working with Sandra and she'll be a valuable asset to any team
