We pulled off some huge wins together against the odds and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work and learn alongside her.

A few of us were fortunate enough to have her as our manager. Aside from providing excellent feedback on our designs, helping us grow our careers, and advocating for us with cross-functional partners, the thing I truly appreciated about Steph was the humanity she brought to the job every day—not an easy thing to do (mostly) over Zoom and with a distributed team in three time zones. Smart, creative, friendly and supportive are great qualities for anyone to have; Steph has them in abundance.

What makes Steph a great leader is her bias towards action. No problem is too small or too big to start solving. She joined our team and immediately got to work understanding what she could do to help us grow individually, as a team, and within the larger company. Steph has inspired me personally to have more confidence in my ideas, and gave me the permission I needed to feel comfortable taking initiative on projects I cared about.
