Audrey notices things that other people don't. She is an extremely perceptive person. I enjoyed collaborating with Audrey over a span of two years on a variety of interviews and marketing content. She's an excellent communicator. Whenever we had a conversation I always knew we were going to end up on the same page.

Her attention to detail served her well as she successfully transitioned into a UX-focused role. But her social awareness is what allowed her to build true connections and be integral to the culture at Alchemy. I recommend Audrey without reservation for any position emphasizing user experience, technical marketing, or the interfaces between computers and people.

I had the opportunity to work closely with Audrey on a project at AlchemyAPI where she was the UX/frontend developer. In spite of this being a new role for her, she took it upon herself to get educated on the cutting edge UX design and usability techniques. She was able to successfully integrate this knowledge into our project and transformed it from an 'engineer-ish' looking website to a polished presentation ready website. With her combined experience of marketing and UX development, I highly recommend Audrey and believe she can contribute positively to any team.

In the year and a half that I have been at AlchemyAPI, Audrey has been the bridge between engineering and marketing. Rather than latching onto buzz words, she worked with the engineers to really understand the technology and make informed statements. As a result, AlchemyAPI's technology was featured or mentioned in publications including GigaOM, Wired, and MIT Technology Review. In addition to her desire to understand the core technologies at AlchemyAPI, Audrey also has a drive to learn about and use technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML in your job as a marketer. As such, I feel that Audrey is the embodiment of the technical marketer.

Working with Audrey at AlchemyAPI was a productive and enjoyable experience. In that time, Audrey took a web based reporting platform with a UI that looked like it was developed for Windows 95 and turned it into a responsive, professional looking app that we felt confident bringing to customers. Throughout this project, Audrey conducted valuable research to develop a solid theme for our product.

Audrey has a great acumen for web based technology (javascript, css, etc) that allowed us to quickly iterate on the design. She also has excellent perception when it comes to breaking down a user's web experience. I would highly recommend Audrey for any UI/UX work.

I worked with Audrey for a couple of years and during that time we collaborated on a few web projects together. Audrey led the design work, and was always a well of creative inspiration. I could lay out the ugliest, bare bones web app and she would instantly have ideas to make it look, and function perfectly. She certainly has a knack for UX design and is always up to date with the latest trends, I can tell it's a real passion of hers.

Personally, she's very approachable and professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I was fortunate to get the chance to work with Audrey and I know others feel the same way.

If I had to summarize Audrey's approach to everything she does, I'd say it's inspired creativity meets follow through. AlchemyAPI was Triberr's first partner thanks to Audrey's ability to find a win-win solution for both parties. She then had courage and fortitude to see it though to the end. We need more people like Audrey.

Audrey has knockout talent when it comes to understanding human experience, whether it's drawing people into a marketing funnel, designing the interactions of our next big web application, or spewing interestingly amusing facts about human interactions over a cup of coffee.

I worked with her for nearly two years, and as a hard working Jill-of-all-trades, she was an endlessly invaluable resource to her employees, peers, and all of the company. Her quirky quips, kind heart, and attentive personality mimicked her distinguished style, and glued us into a cohesive force that I haven't experienced anywhere else.

Audrey has got a style all her own, and I am proud to know her. I hope that I will have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

I worked with Audrey at AlchemyAPI. She always had insightful and well reasoned guidance for our UX problems. I could always trust that she was pointing us in the right direction. She was always open to collaborating on designs and took ownership while incorporating others ideas into projects. I hope I have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Having worked with Audrey for over a year at AlchemyAPI, I can confidently say that she is a competent, versatile, and passionate technical marketing director. At a company like ours, with over 75% of the employees being engineers, "fitting in" as a marketing expert is incredibly challenging. Nonetheless, Audrey has always been skilled at communicating with researchers and programmers, teasing out from off-the-cuff conversations the true gravity and details of specific projects being pursued here.

She is entertaining, engaging, and truly excited about the future of artificial intelligence along with what it means for society. She actively shows this with her enthusiasm for working with engineers to fully harness the power of our press releases and with her knack for organizing local meetups to help promote our company.

Audrey brings a technical lens to the table, along with her skills as a marketer. She is remarkably easy to work with, and I recommend her without any hesitation.
