Trace was instrumental in our product design efforts to deliver a clean and scalable design system that made development smooth and efficient. She brought real polish to our product through her thoughtful approach to iconography and visual design.

Her ability to balance design thinking with practical execution made her contributions incredibly valuable from both a product and engineering perspective.

If I had to point out at one of her strongest skills, that would definitely be the ability to look at a design piece, understand that something is off, and turn that vague feeling into an objective and actionable feedback.

This ability to effectively deliver feedback has brought a lot of value to the team output and increasing their work quality.

I loved how she brought fresh ideas to the table, explained everything clearly, and kept everyone on track toward our goals. The design system she built for us finally gave us the consistency we needed.

Trace works fast without sacrificing quality, quickly grasps complex information, and always delivers valuable insights. She’s approachable, genuinely cares about the work and was a true pleasure to collaborate with. I can’t recommend her enough!

I appreciate Trace's organized and analytical mind. She communicates clearly and helps add extra clarity to processes that might otherwise be muddy and unorganized.

She advocated for us, fostered collaboration, and invested in everyone’s growth. Her leadership created an environment where we could do our best work and support each other.

I learned so much from her about what it means to lead.

Working alongside Trace at Helcim was an absolute pleasure. I genuinely miss our collaboration.

If I had to highlight one of her many strengths, it would definitely be her talent for identifying solutions where none previously existed. Her approachability and support made challenging scenarios much smoother, and I was genuinely grateful to have her partnership.

When the client struggled with inconsistencies and scalability issues in their design system, Trace’s deep understanding of both design principles and technical constraints allowed her to implement a solution that not only addressed these challenges but also improved the overall user experience. The impact of her work cannot be overstated.

Her innovative approach to simplifying the design system was a game changer, leading to greater consistency, efficiency, and ease of use for the team.

She is a very strong leader and has immense skill in leading client workshops, especially in the UX and CDR space.
