What people say
I had the absolute pleasure of managing Aliza at Ideate, and I can confidently say she is as good as they come. As a brilliant Fulbright scholar, Aliza brings a rare blend of sharp intellect and dedication to everything she touches. She is fully engaged across the entire design spectrum: effortlessly moving from user research to product design. What truly sets Aliza apart is how incredibly observant and skillful she is — she catches the subtle nuances others miss and translates them into brilliant user experiences. Any team would be incredibly lucky to have her sharp mind and dedicated work ethic, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Umair AbbasiCreative Director & Adjunct Professor of Design · Ideate Innovation
Aliza consistently demonstrated exceptional creativity and innovation in her designs, playing a pivotal role in revamping our company's brand guidelines. She also led the design of two of our flagship products, showcasing her ability to blend aesthetics with functionality seamlessly.
Waleed WaseemFounder & CEO · Productbox
Aliza quickly reached out when my team posted a creative, technical role that we'd had a tough time finding the right talent for. She was a great fit — reliably available, technically savvy, with a designer's eye, and always constructive with the resources available. Looking forward to seeing all that Aliza takes on from here!
Sarah ShulmanExecutive Producer · Jack Morton
As a colleague, I found Aliza to be dedicated, professional and taking a hands-on approach on the different projects she got to work on. She is a curious and motivated person who's constantly learning and improving her skills. Outside of work, I know Aliza to be a very kind and empathetic person.
