Colleagues describe her as "Martha is an organized and inspirational design leader. She is the type of individual that others copy, which speaks volumes about her influence within an organization.
Martha is a resilient, inspiring, and wicked organized design leader. I had the pleasure of seeing Martha grow from a Lead Designer into a Design Manager at InVision. She’s a natural leader who cares deeply about her team and colleagues.
Martha was responsible for leading our Team Hub Zone, an extremely complex area to own and solve for, and she did it with ease. She balanced a longer-term vision with day-to-day execution. She successfully hired and onboarded multiple designers who went from 0 to high performing in a matter of days, and it speaks to her preparation and methods of support.
Martha is a master at all steps of a product development process, and her methods were consistently copied by other zones, which speaks to her influence across the organization. She also led multiple efforts to better our weekly team critiques. Taking our weeklies from tense design review into something we all looked forward to and frequently had too many volunteers to share work. I would hire and work with Martha again in a heartbeat!", "I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Martha over the last six months as she successfully led a number of our key strategic initiatives.
Martha is an exceptionally dedicated and a deeply talented designer. In the short time I’ve known her, I’ve watched as she has emerged as a design leader across multiple teams, built a culture of safety and inclusion, and led the delivery of several high profile innovations.
She is highly collaborative and encourages her team to think lean, to consider short-term wins against long-term direction, and to share ideas with confidence.
Martha just know’s how to inspire people. When she speaks, people listen. I’m in awe of her ability to move seamlessly between contexts and resolutions, from strategic planning to tactical execution, and back again.
I hope I’m lucky enough to work with Martha again, one day.", and "I was incredibly fortunate to have Martha as my first Design Manager.
As a designer, Martha consistently produces experiences that are both user-centric and simple, yet stunning. She has no ego when it comes to incorporating feedback from others and loves to jam with others. Most importantly, she is a wonderful storyteller. I’ve learned so much just from watching her weave a few simple designs into a compelling narrative.
As a manager, Martha is supportive and trusting. Being a new designer, I was in need of both guidance and freedom to try and fail, and Martha provided both of those. Martha helped me set goals and reach them and always nudged me to get out of my comfort zone. Every win we celebrated together, and every failure we learned from together.
As a human, Martha was one of the (if not the) most important people in building our design team's culture. In a fully remote company, Martha managed to foster real connection by coordinating happy hours and design jams, and going out of her way to make her peers into friends. Her passion for her work and for her team is palpable and I’ve learned so much from her as a mentor and as a friend.
Martha is an exceptional person and would be an immense asset to any team she joins."
