What do others say about my work?

Brice, from your focus on understanding every business detail, to your prolific exploration of design directions, to your insistence on quality execution, you're engaged, thoughtful, and open in a way that enables you to deliver quality with passion, detail, and depth. You're a great asset to the team, and I admire your ownership in delivering on time and on spec.

Mahima Goyal, UX Manager @ AWS Support

Thank you for your partnership in learning from our users and working together to make [REDACTED] in AWSentral as impactful as possible for all field roles. You've earned the trust of our team with your transparency, thoughtfulness and customer obsession.

Rachael Dickens, UX Design Manager @ AWS Field Experiences

Brice, you took on a large and ambiguous project for the KAS team. From the outset, you assumed full ownership, mapping out user journeys for five distinct personas and presenting your work to multiple stakeholders. Your presentation of the high-fidelity mocks with the KAS team, including Anukul Goel (Senior SW Dev Manager, L7), is testament to your high-quality work, receiving unanimously positive feedback. Thank you for your dedication and effort! Your work will directly impact our Kumo goal to reduce builder effort by at least 50%.

Nicol Kosky, Senior UX Designer @ AWS Support

Thank you for always being available to help us navigate design/UX problems. Even though you did not have any context about the AMS Castelet console, you did not hesitate to help and were able to come up with UX options so quickly! appreciate you going the extra mile! (Leadership Principles: Learn and be curious, Bias for action)

Sucheta Puri, Senior PM-T @ AWS Support

Thank you for the good work in bringing these mocks to life. It helps us drive so many different conversations to advance the initiative. [...] You have always given our engineering team timely and top quality experiences to put forward to our customers.

Sreevani Abbaraju, Senior PM-T @ AWS Support

Everything looks so crisp. I don’t have much more feedback to give on mockups because I have no other critique or questions. I would think of an idea, you would design it, and it fits perfectly with what I’m thinking. I love working with you!

Israa Njjar, Former Senior PM @ AWS Support

Brice has been quick on the uptake and invested in learning different Harbinger products, including Events, Notices, and RCAs. She contributed heavily to the UX vision in the space. She's provided full deep dive and user journey studies, as well as comprehensive mocks for the upcoming NextGen RCA launch, and has conducted usability studies across all 6 of our RCA personas with individuals up to and including VPs.

AWS Support Harbinger team of 8 Engineers, Quinn Verfaillie (Software Development Manager), Hiren Bhatt (Principal TPM), and Raj Copparapu (Principal PM)

Special shoutout to both Swetha and Brice who have been absolute stalwarts in rolling with the changes and being able to turnaround requests in a very short space of time.

Dale Peterson, Software Development Manager III @ AWS Support

Thank you for the mockups! Really appreciate. Please keep the long term view intact while coming up with P0. It helps us to add enough hooks.

Akash Gidda, Senior Software Development Engineer @ AWS Support

The design and layout of the Kenz tab in Harbinger flows smoothly and offers easy "at a glance" high level overviews of what the current state of impact is. The 'Untagged potentially impacted services' is supremely helpful in assisting to identify other potential problems or even possible root causes. The design is well thought out and polished up nicely. With a few minor tweaks and additions it would be very nearly perfect.

Escalation Engineer II @ AWS Support, customer of Harbinger console

The workflow is very simple and intuitive. The new process saves time and makes the process of requesting an RCA quick and painless.

Principal TAM @ AWS Support, Customer of RCAs console

It's easy to use—usabliity in terms of scope at scale here. We need a way to scale how accounts are added. But very in line with the AWS experience and very intuitive.
