Yonder N., UX Designer

"Working with Kimberley as my researcher was truly one of the highlights of my time at Microsoft as a designer. She brought not only deep expertise in research, but also a contagious sense of  curiosity, collaboration, and humor that made every project more fun, engaging, and effective. 

 

What stood out most was her ability to make research approachable and actionable. She took the time to walk me through her process, making complex methods feel clear and accessible. She actively invited me to ideate with her, ensuring that research and design were deeply intertwined rather than siloed. That spirit of collaboration helped us uncover meaningful insights and translate them into stronger, more user-centered solutions.

 

She also has a remarkable ability to connect the dots. She would dig into existing research, uncover new data, and synthesizing everything in a way that elevated our work. Even while her manager was away for nearly a year, she remained incredibly self-sufficient and self-motivated. She continued to lead research efforts with clarity and confidence, driving work forward and making meaningful impact across the team. I always felt supported, challenged, and inspired when working with her. Any team would be incredibly lucky to have her leading their research efforts."

Jacqulyn W., UX Researcher

Kimberley is one of the most talented and inspiring leaders I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. She saw potential in me that I couldn’t see in myself and gave me my first opportunity at Microsoft, where her mentorship and confidence in my abilities helped me grow both professionally and personally.

Kimberley has a rare combination of deep expertise in UX research and an ability to empower those around her without ever making them feel less than—she expands your skills and confidence while giving you the freedom to explore and succeed. Even years after we worked together, she continues to mentor and guide me, proving that her commitment to people goes far beyond titles or companies. Any organization would be lucky to have Kimberley—she brings her full self, full throttle, to everything she touches and leaves teams stronger than she found them.
