“Aside from being a talented designer, Christine was a great mentor who was always encouraging and gave a tremendous amount of support and motivation throughout the Design 101 course. Her constructive and thoughtful feedback consistently challenged my designs and gave me plenty of room to rethink and reflect on what I had originally submitted. Her comments helped shed light on what I did well, what could be improved, and reinforced better techniques for future assignments. Her mentorship helped distill a lot of questions I had regarding building simple, functional, and aesthetic user interfaces and she provided plenty of resources that I referred to often throughout my time designing. Thank you again, Christine, for the awesome support at Designlabs and for helping me start my journey into the world of design :D”
