“The Product Vision is already having a strong positive impact on the whole company. It is directly shaping one of our 6 company priorities next year.”
“Miranda was a driving force behind our Product Vision - doing a ton of the work to assemble all the existing work, supplement it with our latest thinking, bring it together into a coherent narrative and, communicate it to a wide range of stakeholders. It is a common language that gives teams a clear direction.”
- David A., VP of Product in Travel
“This was a hallmark piece of work in defining our strategy for 2022-24 and has contributed to defining the strategic topics at a company level.”
“I specifically asked for Miranda's support on this project as I knew it required a deep design/research skillset, combined with flexibility and huge commitment. The end result received genuinely glowing feedback from VPs, our CEO & CFO. [Described as] "one of the best competitive analyses I've ever seen". It's one of the most impactful projects I've been involved with in my time here, and much of the content was driven by Miranda.”
- Sam H., Director of Strategy & Ops
“Miranda's emphasis on visual excellence and visionary ideas set a high standard, enabling the team to move beyond mere utilitarian design and prioritize user-centricity.”
“This focus on the ideal state and user care, not often practiced in daily design tasks, was very inspiring. Miranda's constructive feedback was presented in a way that was easy to accept, and she took the time to explain her thoughts clearly, enabling quick actions for iteration.”
- Mei Z., Senior Designer
Miranda has upped the game on all the design work we do.
Miranda established nice process of 'design reviews' with the management team that facilitates a rich conversation about what we're doing and where we're taking the product. She’s coached the more junior designers through in each instance. All-in-all, Miranda has upped the game for us directly, and been a strong force for good in the wider organisation.
- David A., Managing Director
Miranda has trained our team to now lead while providing necessary oversight in fine tuning the work.
Mirada built a solid expertise of our product to help us build across different aspects of the customer journey. Initially, I was a bit sceptical of the work/approach as it seemed little too conceptual and not practical. Miranda held her ground, provided solid justification and was able to convince me around to see her approach. The work checks off many boxes, including vision building, cross team collaboration and helping build customer centric thinking.
- Ashwyn S., Senior Product Director
“What I saw was intelligent, critically chosen, practical, meaningful changes to our most central and critical product.”
“I felt like the design would have a really material impact on our business. Often these kind of exercises lead to Star Trek transporters that are great for a demo but hard to imagine how they would ever happen from an engineering perspective. I could understand how what was presented could emerge. In short, it was a terrific balance of ambition and change and reality grounding. That's super hard to achieve.”
- Daniel M., SVP in Fintech
“From the moment she joined, Miranda asked the right questions, challenged assumptions and exposed potential gaps.”
“Her approach reflected her experience and her ability to anticipate issues based on her vast experience with past projects, where similar gaps led to inefficiencies. This had a big impact on our approach. She helped ensure that we started on a more solid footing, with a clearer sense of purpose and direction.”
- Jascha G., Design Manager
“Miranda is hands down the best creative leader I’ve collaborated with. Her impact in shaping and operationalising strategic priorities across the business is outstanding.”
“She played a key role in creating processes that enabled long-term, strategic product decisions, deeply influencing our product priorities. Her ability to influence and align teams helped ensure that every department was moving towards the same strategic objectives.”

“The Product Vision is already having a strong positive impact on the whole company. It is directly shaping one of our 6 company priorities next year.”
“Miranda was a driving force behind our Product Vision - doing a ton of the work to assemble all the existing work, supplement it with our latest thinking, bring it together into a coherent narrative and, communicate it to a wide range of stakeholders. It is a common language that gives teams a clear direction.”
- David A., VP of Product in Travel
“This was a hallmark piece of work in defining our strategy for 2022-24 and has contributed to defining the strategic topics at a company level.”
“I specifically asked for Miranda's support on this project as I knew it required a deep design/research skillset, combined with flexibility and huge commitment. The end result received genuinely glowing feedback from VPs, our CEO & CFO. [Described as] "one of the best competitive analyses I've ever seen". It's one of the most impactful projects I've been involved with in my time here, and much of the content was driven by Miranda.”
- Sam H., Director of Strategy & Ops
“Miranda's emphasis on visual excellence and visionary ideas set a high standard, enabling the team to move beyond mere utilitarian design and prioritize user-centricity.”
“This focus on the ideal state and user care, not often practiced in daily design tasks, was very inspiring. Miranda's constructive feedback was presented in a way that was easy to accept, and she took the time to explain her thoughts clearly, enabling quick actions for iteration.”
- Mei Z., Senior Designer
Miranda has upped the game on all the design work we do.
Miranda established nice process of 'design reviews' with the management team that facilitates a rich conversation about what we're doing and where we're taking the product. She’s coached the more junior designers through in each instance. All-in-all, Miranda has upped the game for us directly, and been a strong force for good in the wider organisation.
- David A., VP of Product in Travel
Miranda has trained our team to now lead while providing necessary oversight in fine tuning the work.
Mirada built a solid expertise of our product to help us build across different aspects of the customer journey. Initially, I was a bit sceptical of the work/approach as it seemed little too conceptual and not practical. Miranda held her ground, provided solid justification and was able to convince me around to see her approach. The work checks off many boxes, including vision building, cross team collaboration and helping build customer centric thinking.
- Ashwyn S., Senior Product Director
“What I saw was intelligent, critically chosen, practical, meaningful changes to our most central and critical product.”
“I felt like the design would have a really material impact on our business. Often these kind of exercises lead to Star Trek transporters that are great for a demo but hard to imagine how they would ever happen from an engineering perspective. I could understand how what was presented could emerge. In short, it was a terrific balance of ambition and change and reality grounding. That's super hard to achieve.”
- Daniel M., SVP in Fintech
“From the moment she joined, Miranda asked the right questions, challenged assumptions and exposed potential gaps.”
“Her approach reflected her experience and her ability to anticipate issues based on her vast experience with past projects, where similar gaps led to inefficiencies. This had a big impact on our approach. She helped ensure that we started on a more solid footing, with a clearer sense of purpose and direction.”
- Jascha G., Design Manager
“Miranda is hands down the best creative leader I’ve collaborated with. Her impact in shaping and operationalising strategic priorities across the business is outstanding.”
“She played a key role in creating processes that enabled long-term, strategic product decisions, deeply influencing our product priorities. Her ability to influence and align teams helped ensure that every department was moving towards the same strategic objectives.”
