Nate Larson, VP of Product at Health Rhythms

“I had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Eilis on a cross functional product team. As part of an early and rapidly changing start-up, Eilis was called on to fill multiple roles, and she constantly exceeded expectations. She spearheaded a complete rebranding of the corporate identity and a relaunch of the corporate website. She also created a branding launch strategy which included internal and external communications assets. She did all of this while simultaneously leading the design and execution of multiple UX/UI experiences for mobile applications and web applications across both B2B and DTC services in the highly regulated world of healthcare.

What sets Eilis apart is not just her design talent—which is considerable—but her thoughtful, data-driven approach to creating the best experiences possible. She cares deeply about user experience and the voice of the customer, and she has a rare ability to translate insights into beautiful, functional design systems that resonate.

Eilis is also an incredible team player and a natural leader. She is generous with her colleagues, brings creativity and clarity to every challenge, and isn’t afraid to experiment when the path forward is uncertain. Eilis brings structure to ambiguity and elevates the work of everyone around her. Her ability to communicate up to c-level colleagues as well as to work directly with engineering teams demonstrates her deep and broad understanding of design systems as well as her natural ability to communicate the mission and vision to broad audiences.

I could not recommend her more highly. Any team would be lucky to have her.”

Mark Little CEO and Co-Founder of Kinzen by Spotify

“Eilis was responsible for creating the culture that has defined Kinzen. From our small beginnings, she led by example. She was responsible for the emergence of the collaborative, empathetic and creative spirit that is Kinzen's core strength. Eilis quickly established herself as an advocate for the user in our product development process, eventually taking the role of product manager in addition to her work on research and design. Eilis provided leadership for our team as we designed, tested and shipped an ambitious consumer app, demonstrating that very rare combination of people-skills and process-skills. Eilis provided stability and certainty as Kinzen pursued new opportunities in enterprise software. As CEO, I came to depend on Eilis's open, honest and inspired feedback. And her resilient spirit.”

I've worked with Eilis for many years now across three different businesses in different industries and appreciate their insights and ability to turn a cold digital user interface into a conversation with users, into a creative and productive workspace for users.”

Neil Brady, CoFounder at CaliberAI

“Eilis worked as Design Lead at CaliberAI for just under two years, and was an indispensable member of the team. During her time at CaliberAI, she brought innovative, creative thinking to every task she worked on, and was passionate about both the problem space and the execution of effective, user friendly tooling to address it. She was also extremely collegial to work alongside and she would be a fantastic asset to any team.”
