About me
I start projects by listening, using what I learn to develop a research and design strategy that includes defined metrics of success. I then collaborate and iterate with teammates to design and build a solution to test with users. I’m most excited by work that enables users to more easily access the content and data they need to do their jobs.
Some personal details:
As the middle sister, I’m well versed in conflict resolution.
I was captain of the Boston College swim team, so I’m an expert in motivating large, unruly groups of men and women.
I am a proud Venture for America alum, where I learned all about startup culture— most importantly, how to Google my way to victory.
I most recently was living in Philadelphia, 3 blocks away from the hospital where I was born.
From nominations for Employee of the Quarter (Q3 2020)
Awarded to the teammate who embodies Think Company’s core values: be excellent, be nice to people,
be honest, work together, continuously improve, & be of service
“Lizzie dove head-on into working with a challenging client, taking on a major role in connecting the product and design teams with development. She worked incredibly hard to be of service to our clients while putting out excellent design work. She also proved herself very capable in learning and improving and working with her team members to see this project through. Lizzie is resilient and has a relentlessly positive attitude!”
— Sunkwon Bush, Design Lead
“All of the Think values seem to be on display at any given moment when working with Lizzie. She has consistent passion to be the voice of the user and that drive rallies everyone around her to do the same. It makes for great experiences for the users and simultaneously makes for a great experience in collaborating with her.”
— Keith Rich, Senior Designer
“Lizzie is excellent at everything she does because she listens carefully, implements the advice, and takes the time to do it right. When she was asked to participate in a sales pitch (though she'd never been involved in a pitch before), she asked for advice, listened carefully, and put the advice into action to create an awesome deck, which she delivered flawlessly. She never backs down from a challenge, & consistently looks for ways to help out her team.”
— Doug Gnutti, VP, Business Development
“We just wrapped up Penn Mutual and I'm reminded again of how well a project runs when Lizzie is part of the team. She's always going above and beyond in her work, diving in DEEP and to understand our client's business. Also she's great to have on a team for her contribution to the team's culture and dynamic, bringing the fun to everything she works on.”
— Jen Couchoud, VP, Client Engagement
