I had the pleasure of working with Janani on a project to improve the user experience, workflow and aesthetics of our online client portal for personal income tax preparation. Working from our initial beta version, Janani quickly understood our intent and ambitions with the portal and its target market, and was able to present alternative (and better!) layouts, processes and graphics for every aspect of it. Her work was creative and yet still always aligned with our business goals, and she worked at a fast pace and provided valuable ideas and input beyond the scope of our project. Janani was enthusiastic to learn and contribute, and her input will undoubtedly have a positive influence on our business going forward.
