UXD Superstar Award

Issued by Lenovo UXD Leadership

UXD Superstar Award: Nominated and voted for by UXD team peers under shared director, Chris Osborne.

2023

Manager @ Lenovo

Provided in year end review by Diana Gerli

User advocacy and empathy are the “core” of Angela’s UX superpowers, and one that is always growing and finding a stronger voice… Angela is known as being dependable and knowledgeable for the projects that she supports… A lot of praise for Angela revolves around all the great “stuff” that surrounds her design work, but it would be remiss of me to not mention her design and creativity, too. She produces exceptional design deliverables, using her creativity to drive new ideas and push for data-driven decisions… Angela is consistently able to produce quality work both as a lone-designer or part of a design team. That’s called range.
