“Imani has a compelling mix of design, creative problem solving, and project management know-how, that results in best of class collaborations. As a design manager, she possesses the driving organizational skills needed to keep projects on track, and the nuanced-communication and analytic skills that complex teams need to stay aligned and motivated. Her high integrity demeanor is straightforward, approachable, and consistent - whether in front of project teams, executives, or peers. A project under Imani’s watch is sure to rise to excellence and produce meaningful results.”

– Dave Simon, Memo Furniture (formerly Herman Miller R+D)

 

“Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Imani will find that, in addition to being a pleasure to work with; Imani is a consummate professional with the ability to develop and deliver creative ideas.”

– Kristy Dutch, Perkins + Will (formerly Pfau Long Architecture)

 

“Imani's initiative is excellent and is complimented by her strong organizational skills. These traits give her the ability to work autonomously, and collaboratively, as well as "manage-up" by providing organizational and conceptual structure to projects with demanding schedules. She approaches challenges of all types with a singular enthusiasm and focus that is infectious; this quality makes her a delightful as well as effective collaborator and team manager.”

– Willett Moss, CMG Landscape Architecture

 

“The laundry list of abilities that Imani can claim mastery of is extensive, unique and wholly remarkable. I had the fortune of working with Imani on a series of product designs over the course of about two years during her time at VITAL. Her ability to simultaneously manage a highly complex, amorphous program of design and delivery whilst bringing a clear, beautifully realized aesthetic to her design choices made her critical to the success of the resulting products.

The program of work we partnered on involved multiple teams, working across a diverse range of trades and expertise, with multiple different vendors. Throughout, Imani was able to marshal the parties to successful delivery, whilst also navigating the inevitable politics that arise in any large, cross-functional program.

I cannot emphasize enough the value, rigor, momentum and fun Imani brought to our work together. I strongly recommend Imani for any design strategy or product development role.”
