testimonials.

  • "During her time with us, Sushma demonstrated great design leadership, particularly in overseeing the execution of key remote design projects. Her ability to manage and guide the team in delivering high-quality design work was a valuable asset. In addition to her design skills, Sushma took on a mentoring role within the team. She would provide critical feedback to the team to allow them to grow. Sushma also took on the team culture maintenance and created memorable experiences for us. In short, Sushma is a skilled, driven, and compassionate designer who has the ability to lead teams, build culture, and inspire others to do their best work. It has been a pleasure to work alongside her and I have no doubt she will bring the same level of expertise, passion, and leadership to any future role."

In all my years of experience, some people stand out for their great qualities and Sushma is undeniably one of those people. Not only is she an accomplished artist but she is also extremely respected by the rest of my team for her creativity, her intelligence, her work ethic, her complete autonomy and her acute understanding of the full design process. She is definitely a young talent to be watched over the years to come.”
