“Josie is a very talented UX/CX research and design professional. Inquisitive, deeply passionate advocate for the customer, and all about making digital experiences easy. She develops rigorous customer studies and question guides for her research discussions, but executes them like you are having a coffee on a Sunday morning at the local cafe, putting the customer at ease to engage and share.
This ability is so valuable particularly when you might have challenging customer situations. Beyond the professional, Josie is also an incredible human-being and teammate. Collaborative, caring, always willing to help and lean in. She wants the team to succeed and she always is looking to learn and get better. Josie would be an asset to your team.”

Josie is a powerhouse in the User Experience field, seamlessly blending her expertise in user research and design.

Josie’s attention to detail is second to none—like a hawk, she notices everything. Her dedication and work ethic are among the best I’ve ever encountered. No matter how demanding the workload, she always showed up with a positive attitude, delivering results that exceeded expectations and added immense value to every project.
One of Josie’s many strengths lies in her mastery of user research. She goes above and beyond in her preparation, ensuring she asks the right questions without introducing bias, all while making participants feel comfortable and open. Her passion for her work shines through every single day, and her “get-it-done” attitude never takes a day off.
On top of her professional brilliance, Josie’s vibrant personality is absolutely infectious. She brings positivity to every interaction, effortlessly putting a smile on your face.

Malorie Morrison | Product Manager | Sealed Air | LinkedIn Review
“Josie is thorough, dependable, and flexible. She has a natural lean towards learning and application of past learnings to new work. Josie was always proactive and had a high degree of ownership. Our digital team at Sealed Air was spun up very quickly and Josie was always willing to “roll with the punches” that were often thrown at us. She was always flexible as we experimented with different processes and techniques where others may have struggled with the changes or doing something outside of their comfort zones. Her graphic and UX design background also position her well in her UX Research role as she is able to easily create richer recommendations which combined best practices in design and applicable insights she obtained in other roles. While she is currently a UX Researcher, her background, organization, and ability tap into other related skill sets help position her well for a variety of UX roles, should she choose to pursue them.”

She is quick to both leverage the tools and process she has availability and also explore approaches to close the gaps or improve the research process.

Kevin Woods | Senior UX Designer | Hexagon PPM | LinkedIn Review
“I have worked closely with Josie for the past year and a half and have been very impressed with her professionalism and skills as a UX consultant to my teams. She has taken a great interest in learning our subject matter (which can be difficult to understand) and her adaptability has been top notch. Not only has she brought her UX design capabilities to redesigning/modernizing our products but she is constantly challenging our way of thinking by asking relevant questions and proposing efficient and comprehensive designs.
Not only is Josie a good UX designer, but she is also a great team member and a good Hexagon ambassador when interfacing with our customers. I have had several communications with customers who have gone out of their way to praise Josie's style and methods. She is easy to talk to and really engages her audience. She is not afraid to speak up when something doesn't seem right in a design or implementation and does so in a non-confrontational manner that really encourages communication.
I really can't say enough about how great it is to have her as a part of our team and how she has been so instrumental in our modernization efforts. We couldn't have done it without her!”
Aimee Ferguson | Technical Director | Hexagon PPM | LinkedIn Review

She cares deeply about meeting the needs of both the end user as well as the business, and brings a level of thoughtfulness and intentionality to her work that should be a standard in any organization. She is able to to effectively communicate her design decisions, which are always based on solid research and an expert knowledge of best practices. She is easy to collaborate with and is available to her teammates; always at the ready to give encouragement or provide constructive and thoughtful feedback.

“I had the pleasure of working with Josie at BBVA, collaborating on several projects. Josie is an extremely talented UX designer with an impressive ability to quickly translate concepts and ideas into outstanding designs. She is professional, thorough, and has an eye for detail. I was particularly impressed at her ability to produce UX flows very quickly meeting every deadline.”
Victoria Sanchez | Sr. Product Owner | BBVA Compass | LinkedIn Review
“I worked closely with Josie when she was the UI/UX Designer for the product suite for which I was the Product Owner. From her first few weeks on the team, Josie consistently showed her passion for improving her skills and sharing her learnings with the team around her by bringing in best practices, recommending blog posts and podcasts she was listening to, and encouraging the team to join her for local Design meetups. Her passion for personal and team growth isn’t something you come across often!
Josie also led the charge for employing new ways of usability testing, and produced well organized analysis based on our user research data. She always keeps the customer in mind, and strives to objectively capture the user perspective and let it drive the designs she’s working on. She’s quick to pivot when the user or market need requires it, is a great team player, and produced great work in a remote team environment (which isn’t easy to do!).
I’m thankful for my time working with Josie and the UI/UX skills she brings to the table every day!”Andrew Moultrie | Product Manager | Ministry Brands | LinkedIn Review
“Josie can do it all! She has great design skills and can juggle multiple projects at once with grace and ease.

I anticipate great things for her future.”
Liz Meyer | Product Designer | Ministry Brands | LinkedIn Review
“Good people with great talent are hard to find. I was Josie's hiring manager for the UX Design team at BBVA Compass. When we interviewed, Josie presented herself as a "designer". I was excited to bring her on board when I realized she was more: a User Experience (UX) Designer at heart.
Yes, you need an eye for visual design. Yes, you need an understanding of code. Josie has all this. The key difference in user experience is going deeper and designing how something works. Josie had been intuitively doing UX work long before it was officially in her job title. She's gone much deeper into UX since and I'm glad we had the opportunity to work with her.”Tom Briscoe | UX Design Director | BBVA Compass | LinkedIn Review
