Dear
Hiring
Manager
,
I
am
writing
to
wholeheartedly
recommend
Priya
Raman
for
any
senior
design
or
design
-
leadership
role
you
may
have
open
.
I
had
the
pleasure
of
working
directly
with
Priya
for
just
over
three
years
at
Northlight
Labs
,
where
she
served
as
a
Senior
UX
Designer
on
the
product
team
I
lead
.
During
that
time
,
she
was
one
of
the
most
reliable
,
creative
,
and
strategically
minded
designers
I
have
collaborated
with
.
Priya
joined
Northlight
in
September
2022,
shortly
after
we
closed
our
Series
B
and
began
scaling
the
core
platform
from
a
mid
-
market
tool
to
an
enterprise
-
grade
product
.
Her
first
major
assignment
was
to
redesign
our
onboarding
flow
,
which
at
the
time
had
a
58
percent
drop
-
off
rate
before
users
completed
their
first
project
.
Beyond
her
craft
,
Priya
is
an
exceptional
collaborator
.
She
ran
our
weekly
design
–
engineering
sync
,
moderated
cross
-
functional
critiques
,
and
mentored
two
junior
designers
through
our
formal
apprenticeship
program
.
One
of
those
designers
,
Alex
Torres
,
was
promoted
to
mid
-
level
within
eighteen
months
,
a
milestone
he
credits
largely
to
Priya
’
s
detailed
feedback
on
his
prototyping
work
and
his
stakeholder
-
communication
style
.
In
short
,
Priya
is
the
kind
of
colleague
who
elevates
everyone
around
her
.
She
combines
deep
user
-
centered
expertise
with
business
acumen
,
communicates
with
clarity
,
and
meets
pressure
with
calm
resolve
.
I
would
hire
her
again
without
hesitation
,
and
I
am
confident
she
will
make
an
immediate
,
lasting
impact
on
your
team
.
Please
feel
free
to
contact
me
if
you
would
like
to
discuss
Priya
’
s
qualifications
in
more
detail
.
Sincerely
,
David
Chen
Senior
Product
Manager

Labs
