What my colleagues say about me

I have worked with Rizza when we were developing ING Philippines design system; I saw how she had a great eye for detail, making sure that every component and library in the system had everything a designer needed. She is very easy to work with, very diligent in her tasks and on timefor her delivery. She was also a mentor of sorts, making my onboarding and integration a breeze with her knowledge and guidance.

There are no words when it comes to working with her. She’s very passionate about what she does. She also doesn’t stop when it comes to learning, she’s a life-long learner. She’s also a good role model if you’re looking for a leader. She has this way of interacting and communicating with people that makes you really think and challenge your studies for the better. You can really trust that she’s really good with what she does.
