I had the pleasure of having Jess in my team as a UX designer and highly recommend her for her exceptional design skills. She is highly skilled in UX research and pays meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that all her designs are of the highest quality. She excels in fast-paced environments, handling multiple projects, meeting deadlines, and effectively communicating design concepts with internal and external stakeholders.

I am delighted to write a letter of recommendation for Jessica Barratt. I have taught Jessica for 4 years at Queensland University of Technology, Industrial Design degree, and in that time she has impressed me. Jessica has continually improved her grades across all of her subjects and this is a result of hard work and dedication. Jessica is a passionate and dedicated designer who I have watched grow in confidence and ability. She has a talent for finding and solving unique problems by truly understanding the user through rigorous research. She is not afraid to challenge existing paradigms, whilst still being open to feedback. Mentoring Jessica in her final year honours program I pushed her hard to go above and beyond and she stepped up to the challenge, which is a great sign. She displays maturity and has developed confidence in her abilities, but has always been willing to learn. She has exhibited a positive attitude towards her fellow university friends, colleagues and educators. I am happy to be able to provide this recommendation to such a dedicated and talented designer.

Jessica Barratt is a designer that seeks out situations that will enhance her skills and challenge her thinking. She is organised and thorough, and this has been evidenced in her meticulous approach to the research and testing of prototypes that she has done for our research into Designing with Emotion. She gets work done in a timely manner, and is efficient, effective and professional in all forms of communication. Working with Jess, both in her capacity as a student and research assistant, has allowed me to see first hand how dedicated and determined she can be.
