Adi's approach to his design strategies are very collaborative. He does a really good job of pulling in multiple specialties on the team to assure that his designs not just solve the problem at hand but are truly viable. Several team members across his projects have mentioned how they like seeing the way he is thinking about his solutions. Beyond just gathering the team to elicit feedback, Adi seeks actively seeks out individuals to make sure that he has the full scope of the problem he is trying to solve.
(On mentorship) Our mentorship sessions were helpful. Adi struck a good balance between giving direct advice/feedback and allowing me to lead (or things to unfold organically). He has partially inspired me to take on a mentorship role of my own.
It's amazing to see how much Adi has grown into the role of a UX Researcher. Adi did a great job of facilitating the remote user testing session for our CDC client.
