What’s it like to work with me?
Here’s what some of my colleagues and clients have to say…
Scott Huiskens, Director of Product Mangement
“The highest recommendation I can give to someone is whether I'd work with them again. I'd work with Cat in a heartbeat. At any company, at any time. We worked together at Trustwell where she was tasked with learning a complex domain in a compressed time frame, and then asked to deliver high-fidelity designs that we could immediately take into development. It was not an easy task. The environment was dynamic. Cat put her head down, went to work, and delivered.
As a Product Manager, I appreciated her fearless approach to learning, her ability to ask insightful questions, and her skill in delivering designs that took only a few iterations to fully dial in. She listened, of course, but she listened with focus and an empathy for the user that belied her level of experience.
The best part about working with Cat, though, is that she's simply a first-rate human. Easy to work with, easy to talk to, she cares about her team as much as she does her craft. Her background as a teacher shines through in her interactions with others, and her calm demeanor during the often chaotic process that is software development will be an asset to any organization looking for quality, timeliness, and a level head. I have had the privilege of working with some highly skilled UI/UX people as a PM, Cat is one of them. I whole-heartedly recommend her for any UI/UX opening.”
Sam Mowe, Client
“Cat delivered well-considered and elegant designs for expanding Tricycle's Daily Dharma app. I was impressed with her perceptive insight regarding Tricycle's unique challenges and grateful for how well organized and productive our meetings were. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!”
Linda Virtue, Designer and UX Instructor
“Every once in a while, as a UX instructor, I have the pleasure of teaching a student who not only soaks up the heart and soul of the course as if it was the most natural next step in their career, but who also impacts you on a deeply personal level. Cat is one of these rare treasures. She brought a beautiful sense of balance to the classroom with her softness of being and compassion for all in the space. Her natural passion for working on projects that have measurable impact on our world inspired her elegant, thoughtful work, with careful solutions that she always brought home to her users. She was the student that I placed with ease on any team, knowing she would diplomatically guide, work with grace and diligence and enable the project to be less a chore and more a pleasure. Cat always got the work done and got it done impeccably! I cannot recommend Cat Imburgia enough; I can say with utmost confidence that any organization will be fortunate to have her on board.”
Rozina Kanchwala, Client
“Cat, Chelsea, and Zahra were an incredible team to work with. Not only did they deliver a beautiful new website design, they ensured that the website was both user friendly and that it reflected the goals and mission of Eco.Logic. They were deliberate in their surveys, kind in providing feedback to me, and thorough in delivering an end product. It would be an understatement to say I'm happy with their work; I'm thrilled that our website now more accurately represents us as an organization.”
Patrick Green, Colleague and Educator
“I worked closely with Cat Imburgia for several years as part of a team of 5th grade teachers and advisors. She was much loved and admired, by teachers and colleagues alike, for her patient and thoughtful leadership. As a teammate, I was consistently inspired by her creativity, reliability, and resourcefulness. She evoked the best in her students by clearly and gently expressing her high expectations for them. Cat leads, very effectively, from behind, with winning empathy and humility.”
Shanna Weiss, Supervisor and School Division Head
“Cat brings balance and peace to all situations with her positive and optimistic nature, and her calm and compassionate demeanor, even under pressure. She has a thoughtful, organized approach; and an ability to see the big picture and get at the heart of a matter. Cat has a warm spirit, sense of humor, and a friendly, direct way of communicating with kids and adults alike. She always looks on the bright side and gives people the benefit of the doubt. She is highly professional, exceptionally kind, and unfalteringly diplomatic. She is a model colleague and friend. ”
