      • “Sam offered invaluable insight into the reality users with disabilities face on a daily basis. We’re able to use her teachings to both apply and justify the application of more inclusive design thinking across multiple deliverables. Sam is known as the “mama bear” for the HCE UX Atlanta team. She is protective over her team and goes out of her way to make sure others feel heard and represented. Sam makes coming to work every day a blast, and we don’t know what we’d do without her jokes and bringing humanness to the work day. She is HCE’s literal ray of sunshine.”
