What colleagues say.
From people I've designed, built, and delivered learning with.

Graphic Designer at Uber
“Working alongside Ruth on our creative team, I had a front-row seat to what exceptional instructional design looks like in practice. As the instructional designer partnered with me as a visual designer, she brought a sharp design thinking mindset to every initiative we tackled together. On high-visibility work like global onboarding and performance management, Ruth consistently translated complex, ambiguous challenges into thoughtful, effective learning solutions. What stood out most was her ability to ideate quickly while staying grounded in user needs and business goals.
Ruth also proved to be an incredibly strong project manager. She led complex, cross-functional initiatives requiring alignment across multiple stakeholders, navigating them with clarity, structure, and an agile, iterative approach. She communicates with intention, keeps teams moving forward, and maintains a high bar for quality even under tight timelines.
Beyond her instructional design expertise, Ruth brings a refined design sensibility and strong build skills that elevate the final product. Combined with her stakeholder management and project leadership, she meaningfully strengthens any team she's part of. Just as important, Ruth brings a calm, steady presence to the work—someone you trust to navigate complexity without adding noise, and to elevate both the work and the people around her. I'd collaborate with Ruth again in a heartbeat.”

Senior Program Manager, Office of the CTO
“I had the pleasure of working with Ruth on building a training framework that required not just thoughtful design, but cross-functional buy-in across the organization. Ruth was our go-to expert on the learning system, and her depth of knowledge was evident at every stage.
What set her apart, though, was how she paired that expertise with genuine big-picture thinking. She never got lost in the details; she always kept the broader goal in view, which was critical for getting stakeholders aligned and the framework approved for execution. She's the kind of collaborator who keeps momentum going without sacrificing quality. Anyone building or scaling a learning function would be lucky to have her in their corner.”

ESL Department Chair for CCSF Mission Campus
“Ruth was able to manage multiple projects at the same time and meet tight deadlines. She is easy to collaborate with and worked well on teams, so much so that other campus coordinators were eager to borrow her...she would be a valuable addition to any program or team.”

Program Manager at The English Center
“Ruth spearheaded multiple projects including revamping Microsoft Suite training, enhancing the job training process for our clients, and performing continual maintenance on our curriculum. In all projects, she successfully engaged with internal and external stakeholders and was key to the organization's program improvements.
Her extensive knowledge in adult learning theory is a valuable asset, and it was clearly demonstrated in the learner-centered curriculum she developed for the org. I am fortunate to have worked with Ruth, as she is collaborative, ambitious, and a pure joy to be around!”
