I remember having a conversation with an old mentor of mine about how hard it was to be surprised by young designers in terms of craft and thinking. I would love to have a conversation with him again because I found one who positively surprised me... Michelle.

It has been not only a pleasure but an honor to work with Michelle at Roblox during her internship. We gave her a very broad product area to solve that implied not only understanding of the user problem and how this systematically applied into different features and products, but also demanded intense cross team collaboration.

The attitude, the rigor, the openness to feedback, the communication, the drive... I can continue writing good things about what she did. But all combined resulted in a very insightful, well thought and robust global pattern solution that was very very well received by teams and peers.

It's not normal to see an intern influence the team and the work the way Michelle did. And everything with the best infectious positive energy I've seen in a while. I really think Michelle is ready to make impact as a designer and would love to cross paths again.
