TESTIMONIALS
Han Jiang
Digital Design Specialist at Bolide Technology Group
Elle is a creative and insightful mentor who listens to our thoughts, keeps in mind what we want to learn, and helps us grow. Elle is always supportive and has a great energy to make you feel motivated and confident during work. Thanks to Elle, at the end of my internship, I was able to not only manage a 4 students team without problems but also able to lead the team to practically work on surveying, usability testing, data analysis – her guidance and expertise helped us get through any project our team was stuck on. I learned extensive knowledge on both qualitative and quantitative UX research.
