Tao is a skilled professional who is fantastic to work with.
Simply: Excellent work from start to finish.
Tao was commissioned to produce a trial article for a Melbourne-based HR startup, on the topic of “Applying Design Thinking to your Career”. Tao smashed the trial. She hit the brief, nailed the tone of voice we aspired to and left both the project manager and client rapt with her contributions. Despite the project not progressing (due to circumstances beyond her control), Tao proactive in chasing up client requirements, and would recommend her for any job in the future.
