What is it like working with me?

“Kino has been putting in tremendous effort to help us with this project. She has crafted the information architecture to demonstrate the multiple user roles and workflows for navigating the paper bidding, reviewing, and feedback submission processes. She consistently makes time to understand the end users' needs, asks insightful questions to dive deep, and listens attentively to design feedback, making necessary iterations.

She has helped clarify the user stories with the product team to design the conference homepage, author submission dashboard, reviewer pages for completing paper assignments, and organizer dashboard displaying useful metrics, which are crucial for organizers. Her efforts have substantially enriched the product roadmap, helping engineers envision the platform so they can speed up development and build the product more accurately.”
