Kind words
Heather is an exceptionally talented brand designer who brings both strong creative judgment and a rare level of care to the people she works with. She has a sharp eye for quality, a thoughtful approach to feedback, and a real ability to turn ideas into work that feels clear, polished, and effective.
What always stood out to me was that Heather combines high standards with genuine kindness. She is supportive, collaborative, and the kind of person who makes a team stronger not just through her craft, but through the way she works with others.

As a leader and manager Heather really listens and really cares. It's natural for her to care for those around her while still providing clear expectations or boundaries around time, scope, or brand. She has the kind of grit and patience that many leaders work hard to achieve and never do. Heather understands the importance of systems and standards. Her influence has kept all of Upsun provided with easy-to-use branded templates and processes for their daily activities. She moves to empower those around her to take part in the brand rather than gate keep or direct. Her approach in this way builds bridges and still maintains consistency.
