Michael Sorensen

Director, Product Management at Cvent

“Sonya is a thoughtful and curious content designer. Her focus is always on customer needs, and she balances that well with an understanding of business objectives. She consistently brought great options and ideas to the product delivery process to create a better experience for our customers, and she was always willing to do the work and research required to understand customer needs and workflows.”

Gina Cairney

Lead Content Designer at Cvent

“I worked with Sonya for just under 3 years. Sonya is a content designer in the truest sense of the name. She's curious and always seeks information to understand what she's designing for, and who she's designing for. There's a purpose to her approach that I appreciate and find valuable. Sonya also likes to discuss things, which is great for unearthing situations or questions that haven't been considered. The quality of Sonya's work is also great. Sonya is a great design partner to have.”

Thatcher Snyder

Senior Content Designer at Cvent

“Sonya is one of the most perceptive, empathetic, and intelligent people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. As content designers at Cvent, Sonya and I often worked together solving complex design problems for a large b2b company, which involved negotiating squadrons of stakeholders, conflicting requirements, and complicated technical limitations. Sonya is incredible at navigating these problems, at reaching stakeholder alignment, at resolving business conflicts, and at navigating the complexities and frustrations of an enterprise environment. I cannot recommend Sonya highly enough for her next role, and she will be an asset to whatever team is smart enough to hire her.”

Dane Jennings

Project Manager and Sales Director at Superluminal

“Sonya is a wonderful person to have on your team. At Superluminal/Passport For Good, we collaborated numerous times on projects like website redesigns, product design, and creating sales and marketing materials. In all of our interactions, she demonstrated a willingness to take initiative on difficult projects and a reliability for delivering high-quality results. The nature of our work required her to be agile and quickly adapt to feedback and she proved more than capable of this level of flexibility and resourcefulness.”

Diana Cheshmedjiev

Lead Product Designer at Cvent

“I had the pleasure of collaborating with Sonya on several projects. She was willing to dig deeper to understand the nuances of our projects instead of settling for surface-level insights. Sonya’s approach was always holistic—looking not just at the content itself, but at how it fit within the broader product experience. This mindset was instrumental in helping our team develop innovative and well-integrated solutions into the overall user journey.

What truly sets Sonya apart is her resourcefulness. She consistently brought fresh perspectives and creative options to the table, often uncovering opportunities that others might have missed. Whether it was refining microcopy to enhance user clarity or rethinking the structure of an entire content flow, their solutions were well-considered and impactful.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sonya to any team looking for a content designer who excels at their craft and elevates the entire product development process. Her ability to understand the bigger picture while delivering precise, user-focused content is a rare and invaluable asset.”

Sonya doesn't wait to be asked; she shows up with ideas and gets you onboard. Detailed, thoughful, inclusive, and fierce, Sonya's storytelling chops are rivaled only by her organizational skill. Her incisive analysis and a desire to produce will benefit anyone who needs complicated designs done thoughtfully, thoroughly, and just, well...done. Sonya produces amazing work.”
