“Michelle Schultz has taken on more responsibility in 2020 and has done an amazing job in this new role in mentoring Jr. designers and leading the upper funnel work. She is fiercely resourceful and does not let a lack of information or direction stop her from driving a project. This is a consistent pattern for her, and she exemplified it again this year with the key and complex UWY initiative. ”

“Michelle is a pleasure to work with and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team. She is great at looking at the big picture and pulling in team members to collaborate, while still being able to solve the details of the work that she’s responsible for. I look up to her as a peer. She’s even very open to working with peers to help improve their work process.”

“Michelle is an exceptional strategist. As quoted by peers, her work and documentation are impressive. She creates thorough documentation for every initiative. Her approach to showing her work represents thought and research; it allows stakeholders understand the path to the solution as it relates to the problem.”

“It has been a true pleasure to work with Michelle over the past 7 years and to watch her transform her career from a Digital Producer into the strong UX Designer she is today. Michelle always puts the customer first and looks at everything through that lens. She has always been great at partnering with others to achieve the best experience – be that the research team to help get at the root of the customer issues, the product owners to ensure they too are understanding and driving a roadmap that focuses on the customers’ needs, and with developers to ensure that they are aligning to the desired experience.

Michelle is strong in her convictions, and backs those up with thorough research and analysis – but engages others in a conversation to help create alignment vs. a lecture, which is why so many enjoy working with her and look forward to opportunities to work side by side with her. I miss working with Michelle on a day to day basis and hope that we will get that opportunity again in the future!”
