What my peers have to say…
Leonardo De La Rocha
VP, Design @SimplePractice, Ex- Spotify, Intuit, Facebook, Yahoo
"Diya made an immediate and lasting impact across multiple core product squads. She quickly proved herself to be a designer who doesn't get stuck in ambiguity, but instead breaks problems down to drive toward clear, user-centered solutions.
Diya led several critical initiatives end-to-end, including complex flows for Insurance Billing Credentialing and the Therapy Finder Design System. She consistently demonstrated strong product intuition, taking projects all the way from early problem framing through tight collaboration and iteration with engineering and marketing. Even beyond her primary scope, she took the initiative to elevate our product's UX polish through custom illustrations and visual enhancements.
Beyond her strong technical skills, Diya is an absolute joy to work with. She shows up with a high level of ownership, a proactive approach to feedback, and excellent cross-functional communication. She operates with the maturity of a seasoned designer and would be a tremendous asset to any product design team."
Sarah Harris
Senior Product Designer (Monetisation Team) @ SimplePractice
"I had the pleasure of working closely with Diya where she took full end-to-end ownership of a new billing solution for our insurance credentialing product from exploration through final designs. From the start, she showed a strong ability to navigate ambiguity, ask thoughtful questions, and quickly build a deep understanding of the problem space. She communicates her thinking clearly and takes initiative to collaborate with cross-functional teams, which made her a really effective partner. She’s also incredibly organized in her work, bringing structure and clarity to complex problems. Diya brings a contagious sense of positivity and curiosity that makes her an absolute joy to work with. I would highly recommend working with her. Any team would be lucky to have her."
Josh Waldman
Senior Product Designer (Insurance Team) @ SimplePractice
"Diya consistently goes above and beyond to communicate with stakeholders, quickly identifying gaps in understanding and pushing for design excellence through quick iteration and rapid feedback cycles while showing a high level of ownership and initiative. Insurance is a complex problem space, and Diya uses all of the tools at her disposal to learn about the space and push for common sense solutions. Diya’s willingness to experiment is great to watch, and I’ve been consistently impressed by the quality of her design work. Watching her growth has been great to watch; she’s a great thinker who would be a huge asset to any design team."
James Lyons
Lead Product Designer (Growth Team) @ SimplePractice
"Diya is eager to learn, asks sharp questions, and moves fast on projects without sacrificing quality. When faced with ambiguous problems, Diya doesn't get stuck. She breaks them down, finds the signal in the noise, and drives toward clear, user-centered solutions. She was proactive about seeking feedback, iterating on her work, and grounding her decisions in both user needs and product constraints. Diya has the mindset and maturity of a much more experienced designer. I'd highly recommend her for any product design role where ownership, speed, and thoughtful problem-solving are valued."
Paul Ambas
Product Manager (Calendar Team) @SimplePractice
"As a PM, what stood out immediately was her strong product intuition; she consistently approached design problems with a clear understanding of user needs, product goals, and technical constraints. Diya has a rare ability to take ambiguous ideas and quickly translate them into thoughtful, intuitive experiences that help teams move forward with clarity. She was a fantastic partner to work with - proactive, highly collaborative with engineering, and always pushing the team toward better product decisions. Any product team would be fortunate to have Diya as a designer."
