Sonal consistently pushes herself and her team to deliver top-notch work that directly address our users’ need. Her proactive nature has helped foster process improvement, strong relationships and collaboration within the team, leading to a great work environment. Her work is instrumental in ensuring Empower remains a high-quality app for our users. I truly appreciate her holistic approach to improving her skills and the dedication she has to positively impact the team. Her commitment to quality is evident in her approach, process and output.

I had the pleasure of working with Sonal during her internship at The New York Times, and I can confidently say she's an exceptional designer. She has a natural talent for understanding user and business problems, and designing grounded and executable solutions. From day one, she consistently produced impactful design solutions grounded in evidence-based research. She was always open to feedback and collaborated effectively with designers and cross-functional partners. She has a go-getter attitude and will be a fantastic addition to any design team.

Sonal is a designer who pays attention to the smallest details, delivers quickly, remains flexible to developers’ suggestions and queries, and carefully evaluates the development effort needed for proposed ideas. She excels at prioritizing communication with both me and my team of developers.

Sonal owned the Toolbox Talks feature from its early concept to a fully developed product. Her attention to detail and ability to explain the reasoning behind design decisions stand out. She asks sharp questions and isn’t afraid to voice concerns when something doesn’t add up.
