Grace was amazing! Not only did I insightful feedback on my presentation, but I also walked away with life advice.

Grace was extremely helpful in providing guidance on my current design project. As the sole designer working for a small startup, she gave good insight on how to approach my work, what I could do to improve my design, and how I can better communicate to stakeholders.
