    Sharon Byun

    Senior Product Designer

  • "Delisa is a visionary leader who sets a clear design direction while fostering an environment of innovation and collaboration. I’ve witnessed her mentorship and guidance first hand and it’s been instrumental in developing a strong, cohesive design team capable of tackling complex challenges with confidence and creativity. What sets her apart is her exceptional communication and cross-functional collaboration skills. She effectively bridges the gap between design, engineering, product teams and marketing, ensuring that design solutions align perfectly with business goals and technical feasibility."

    Mandana Rafat

    Director of Organic Growth & Retention

  • "Delisa's deep skillset comes from a background of varied projects, which comes naturally from her diverse company background and a strong motivation to come out swinging. I haven't seen her shy or struggle from a new type of problem to solve, and believe me, I've thrown quite a few at her (sorry Delisa). Time after time, she's come out the other side with an impressive result that we've come to expect by now. It's all too rare to find someone that excels in building a team, is totally aligned with the product and business goals, and has all the chops of a top-notch individual contributor. Delisa *is* that design leader.
