"Ritu demonstrated true initiative, resilience, commitment to the team's success and expertise in your design craft. she also produced beautiful low fidelity screens, to dive deeper into the scenes in your storyboards. In terms of design, you went above and beyond what was expected or even possible with the inputs that we had and a large proportion of the outputs are yours singlehandedly!"
