“Misha consistently surpasses expectations with the quality of her guidance and has evolved into an extraordinary role model and mentor for those fortunate enough to collaborate with her.

During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Misha stood as a rock in her role as a product leader. Her unwavering commitment and adaptability in navigating the uncertainties of that period were truly admirable. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her, and I eagerly look forward to the possibility of collaborating with her again in the future. Misha's patience, thoughtfulness, and her commitment to continuous self-improvement has been inspiring to witness.”

“As a UX Designer who worked under Misha at Entergy, I can attest that she is an experienced team lead who brings valuable mentorship and management skills to her role. Misha established practices for our team that did not previously exist that increased our touchpoints with each other without burdening our calendars and provided guidance around our individual design contributions in a way that maximized the overall impact of our team.

During our time together, Misha's impact on our team was overwhelmingly and measurably positive. My belief is that her clear and expansive knowledge of the practice and process of UX as well as her strong team management skills will benefit any organization that hires her. I enthusiastically recommend her as a senior or management level designer to any organization.”

“Misha has been an essential part of my experience becoming a UX Designer, without her guidance and expertise I would not be as confident as a designer as I am today. She is committed to helping people grow in the field. She is an intelligent and capable designer who can give constructive feedback that helps enhance her mentee's critical thinking and problem-solving skills. She has not only helped me improve my design skills as my mentor and colleague but has also been an enriching and fun friend. She is a great leader, and fit for any team!”

I've not only watched her grow professionally, but I've also had the opportunity to see firsthand her ability to quickly grasp complex concepts and problems and find solutions to address them quickly. She consistently exceeds expectations in the work she delivers and has blossomed into this incredible leader and mentor to the people that work with her. She is incredibly patient, considerate and challenges herself consistently to always be and do a little bit better every day.”
