I was privileged enough to have Sandy as a mentor during my UX/UI bootcamp and she was always such a kind and helpful presence. She goes above and beyond to create a positive environment in everything she does, and she provides such insightful and useful design feedback. I could contact her at any hour, and she would help me. Amazing to work with!

Sandy is a passionate and talented individual who I had the pleasure of working with on a project with a very tight deadline. She knows her stuff, is respectful, and a general pleasure to work with. I would definitely love to work with her again in the future.

Sandy's understanding of UX/UI design is deep and nuanced, but what truly sets her apart is her commitment to human-centered design. She consistently emphasizes the importance of empathy in our work, reminding us that at the heart of every design decision is a real person with unique needs and experiences.

One instance that stands out is when Sandy expertly navigated a complex Figma process during a class session. Not only did she simplify the process for us, but she also took the time to explain the reasoning behind each step, ensuring we understood the 'why' as well as the 'how'. Her ability to make complex concepts accessible is a testament to her expertise and teaching skills.


Sandy was one of the first people I had the pleasure of working with and meeting before I started my UX/UI Bootcamp. I was eager to start, and she recommended many valuable resources to me that allowed me to jump-start my learning. Since then, Sandy has been excellent as my tutor throughout the entire 24 weeks at Rice University. She is caring, motivating, and an outstanding mentor and teacher in UX/UI. I am eternally grateful for her patience, knowledge, and expertise. I will take everything she taught me into my career.
