Hear from my colleagues and mentees!
I started my work journey with Roopa, and she has helped me tremendously to develop my skills and enhance my knowledge about User Experience and it’s application in the company. She is one of the most dedicated professionals I’ve had the opportunity of working with and is always willing to put that extra help whenever I needed it. I am extremely grateful to have had a mentor like her in the early stages of my career.

Roopa is a very hardworking and enthusiastic person. Team player, approachable and always ready to share knowledge with others. Her experience and interest in UX design are commendable. She is an empathetic person which enables her to understand user’s abilities, limitations, and goals and hence can design better products. We worked on a project together in McAfee, where I was very impressed by how she focused on each and every detail of the user experience. It was a pleasure working with her.
