Testimonials

This is what some of my clients and colleagues say about me.

"The best service designers need intelligence, the ability to rapidly understand complexity and adapt to new business and operational paradigms. Against this, they need a powerful commitment to user needs and the ability to translate them into the frictionless design of services. When you add to those skills the ability to inspire and take a team with you, you have described Maire. A talent I hope to be able to work with again and again." (Client, 2021)
