Testimonials
“Malaika has been an incredible addition to the team. She has stepped boldly into complex spaces with fearlessness and a bias towards action. Her craft is more than solid (especially for a designer starting out! Wow!). She recently presented to Ann in our monthly share up and was graceful, clear, and impactful. She has a bright future in Product Design and it's my plan to have our paths cross again someday.”

“Malaika provided a strong UX design for our vaccine solution that we are expecting to help contribute to the goal of doubling our vaccination goals for this year. She also worked on background Design Library components, adding confidence to reusability and consistency across Kroger Design platforms. She is fearless when it comes to trying something new, learns quickly, and asks questions when necessary to get to value quickly.”

“Malaika, I love seeing how you jumped into our team critique and presenting your work as part of team since day one, and I really enjoy your energy and collaboration! I can really see you as a 'fashion-designing architect who also designed video games' (still can't get over that one in your portfolio ). And, you almost got me to start playing NYT games!"

“We’re sad to see her go. We had hoped she could stay with us longer. Malaika has seamlessly integrated in the AX space and excelled in the AX Scheduler area. She is an incredible designer, and her design work is of exceptional quality (beyond intern level). It has truly been a pleasure working with her.”
