Just the mention of Judy and Natasha makes me smile with fondness and delight. I’ve noticed that I’m not the only one that is so deeply impacted after getting to know these amazing recruiters. Judy and Natasha value relationships and genuinely learn what drives you, what you seek in a new opportunity, this is coupled with their tremendous experience with designers. Best of all, there’s heart and humor behind every genuine interaction they have with you. I can’t recommend this wonderful duo enough.

Judy Briones has been a great partner to me in building my various UX teams. At Citrix, she was instrumental in helping source top talent for everything from design to program management roles. Judy doesn’t just fill a position, she deeply understands the design and UX space, gets to know her clients and has an extensive network of talent to draw from. She works with you to find someone who not only has the right skillset, but also right the cultural fit. You’ll find no better in Silicon Valley than Judy and her team!

There are few people out there who ask about the problems you are trying to solve before asking about the job title. That is the real differentiator that Judy and Natasha bring. They help you get to a successful outcome, and are not afraid to introduce you to alternative options that you had not thought of in order to guarantee your success. With a network like theirs, how can you go wrong?

Judy offers genuine talent-seeking guidance based upon in-depth understanding of your context — not just finding a “body” but sourcing the right fit based upon personality, culture, aptitudes, the whole gamut. I value the highly personalized & pragmatic approach that Judy takes to ensuring a team’s success, from startups to big enterprise firms. And she totally “gets” the needs of User Experience hiring — a rarity even today!

Judy and Natasha are doing something very different and valuable. Putting Humanity back into the human resources process, they apply their craft to understand both sides of the equation – matching the best people to the best opportunities. As a Human-centered Design practitioner, I love the way they apply creative, human-centered methods to crafting exceptional teams for their clients.

Judy and Natasha look beyond the obvious with a rare insight into what a project really needs – the right personality, the right talent and a seamless fit. They have a superior network and always have their client’s best interests in mind. Their personalized approach ensures that the solution fits the situation — whether the ask is for large-scale team building or a singular design role.
