“I had the pleasure of working with Irene on several critical internal and external UI/UX and website projects, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Irene is an exceptional designer and what sets her apart is her ability to balance strong design aesthetics with deep UI/UX knowledge...all while possessing critical "business know-how". She consistently delivered designs that were not only visually appealing but also intuitive and user-friendly. Her expertise in Webflow allowed for seamless implementation of these designs, resulting in polished, professional websites that exceeded our expectations. …”

“I’ve worked with Irene for a little over two years now and I’m so pleased to share some praise for her work. She is one of the most detail-oriented UX/UI designers I’ve ever worked with and Irene’s designs and builds are always clean, balanced, and expertly built. I love that Irene is committed to continued learning and keeping up with best practices and her knowledge of Figma and Webflow is impeccable. Lastly, Irene is such a pleasure to work with and I hope we continue to work together! She’s a wonderful collaborator, and achieves that rare balance of designing and building with both efficiency and thorough attention to detail.”

“As the Principal of Ashandelle, this is an awkward recommendation to write. I want everyone to know how amazing Irene is, but I also want her to never, ever leave us. Because she is. Amazing, that is. She’s hardworking, dedicated, and super talented. She’s also the most detailed designer I’ve worked with and, in a land of design specification docs, that is saying something! She’s been with Ashandelle for a year now and I'm looking forward to working with her for years to come.”

“Irene worked on my Webflow business website and did a phenomenal job. The yellowpebble.co website speaks for itself – but more than that, Irene was available to take questions, make quick edits and responsive at all times. The experience of working with her was as good as the output. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors – you won’t be disappointed if you choose to work with her.”

“Irene has a been a pleasure to work with. We hired Irene for freelance work, as our marketing team needed an extra hand with creative design and Webflow development for some new landing pages. From day one, I have been extremely impressed with Irene’s prompt responses to requests, quick/quality execution of tasks, and an above-and-beyond work ethic. 


I would highly recommend working with Irene if you have the opportunity!”
