        At Edgewater Network (acquired by Ribbon Communications) we decided we needed our own UX expert who could be embedded with the development team to both provide innovative solutions and build out a cohesive foundation when we decided to rearchitect the system to be able to scale up both in terms of number of managed endpoints and development of additional features. Aanchal was hired on her strong interview answers in addition to her ability to grasp and challenge some of our base assumptions. Needless to say, she has not disappointed.

Working with Aanchal, I have found her to be quick to pick up any technical details with which she had not been previously acquainted and a strong innovator and collaborator in coming up with workflows that are far more intuitive than those that have been employed in our legacy system or conceived by existing resources. Her eye for details and aesthetics is impeccable. I watched her direct and provide guidance in user-studies which helped to polish some aspects of the work in progress as well as provide insight into the how’s and why’s of user responses to different elements in our UI. The success of our new UX introduction drew attention to Aanchal’s work to the point where she was reappropriated from our project after our acquisition and redeployed to provide company-wide UX direction.

Aanchal has consistently provided clear direction and explanations for her thinking behind different workflow decisions. Often, she has had to educate the developers on principles of human design and has been a very patient and capable mentor to our UI developers. She is unafraid to make her perspective known and work at winning over the opinions of skeptics with well-thought out and reasoned user-focused points. At the same time, Aanchal is very pleasant to work with, always ready with encouragement and eager to attack seemingly cumbersome processes with her own ideas. It is obvious she thrives in a collaborative environment and enjoys solving challenging problems. Desirée Walko
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Working with Aanchal came with great joy - it was a breathe of fresh air working with her. She has a great eye for design and usability. She is able to easily adapt and understand the different strategies for releasing and updating designs based on projects. She is able to explain her designs in and out, how the user would benefit from the design and any required functionality for development. She is able to run with a project and take on action to push forward projects. 

It was extremely pleasant experience working with Aanchal, and I would highly recommend her to be part of any team.
