Not Just for Them

"Yanling played a pivotal role in our business's growth through her exceptional skills as both a product strategist and business thinker. She has a keen mind for solving problems from an end-user's point of view, and cultivates these solutions with exquisite UX/UI design.
At a start-up, it is rare to find talent such as this, especially in the competitive field of product development."
Ramon Rodriguez
Sales and Operations at LaunchForce
"Renni was a blessing for the team. Not only is she very talented in all things design and research, but she was also very good at organizing the team, providing clear but respectful feedback and speaking her mind, even when she didn't agree. She was respectful and her commitment never failed. Anyone who works with Renni during capstone will be so lucky!"
