Rachael was my consultant in user experience design under the ICT-A global program from GIZ (International German Cooperation Agency) Mexico, which I coordinate. Her main duties were to design, prototype and test a digital device for participatory planning. Rachael surprised the team and delivered beyond expectations! with detailed research and data analysis and a thorough test and iteration phase, everything nicely documented with great quality in its design and communication. Her prototypes included designing for accessibility-for-all, interaction design for a global audience and conducting a design thinking workshop with our counterparts and we received very good comments from the participants. She delivered a successful presentation to the program partners, which was one of the main milestones of the consultancy, and an in-depth end of project report with her recommendation.

Rachael´s unbounded creativity and foresight envisioned compelling new ways for people to meaningfully communicate and connect with each other in VR. In collaborating with her on our Art-in-VR project last year (2016), I believe we produced something very special. This work covered a lot of creative ground with concepts that are only now being recognised by other VR studios. Her business sense and finely tuned producing skills also made the production and build process a breeze in light of the tight shooting window and budget. Rachael has always been ahead of the game in understanding the true potential of this medium and how to bring work to fruition in the most viable way possible. It was an absolute pleasure working, learning and building new worlds with her. I look forward with anticipation to see what she does next with the medium of VR.

Rachael is an inspired XR producer and UX design researcher with keen attention to detail and exceptional ability to organize and communicate complex information in easy to understand ways. Always curious and open to new ideas, Rachael is quick to learn and share new tools for prototyping and collaboration. It was a pleasure working with Rachael on a variety of XR related projects and I look forward to when I have the opportunity to work with her again.

Rachael is an easy person to work with that has awesome leadership, coaching and innovation skills. At The Future of Work Lab she was an innovation & emerging tech facilitator who was forward thinking, a great communicator and storyteller. Really enjoyed her presentations on VR and the future of work.

Madison Bonovich, The Future of Work Lab

Rachael developed and ran unique workshops that seamlessly integrated VR technology into Design Thinking processes. She put together highly original content and materials, coordinated the development of VR prototypes, and delivered outstanding immersive presentations to mixed groups of experts and business leaders that were very well received. Besides covering all operational issues of the project, Rachael also devised and executed innovative marketing activities including events. I learned a lot from you and really enjoyed working together.
