“I reported to Michelle while working on the UX team for purchase experiences at Rocket Mortgage. She was a fantastic leader of craft - always willing to roll up her sleeves to dig into problem spaces and collaborate on design solutions right alongside us. I admired this about Michelle, because it meant that she had a deep understanding of the projects we were working on, which allowed her to go at bat for the team from an informed lens when solutions were questioned by less knowledgeable stakeholders. As a reliable source of cross-discipline feedback, she was critical in my own success. Being a UX writer in today's full-stack world, I often find it difficult to get meaningful feedback from design leaders who don't have backgrounds in content. Michelle did not fall into this stereotype. In fact, she coached me on leading a content-focused project that both resulted in a significant increase in product performance metrics and won a content design industry award. I can confidently say that she can wear the hat of both visual and content design leader. And she wears it well. This, I think, shows her solid expertise and dedication in designing holistic end-to-end user experiences. Finally, I came to rely on Michelle as a genuine servant leader and mentor. She was never afraid to advocate for what's right by her team. Even if it meant challenging high-level things like org structures or process, based on concerns she heard from us. She has a way of helping people see the potential for a better way in their work, and also in themselves as people. Truly, any team would be lucky to have her.”
