David Asare, founder Marchcroft
Tshili is an exceptional UI/UX expert who builds designs that truly convert. Each weekly phone call saves us weeks of time. Without her, we would be pondering over UX fragility and wondering why churn is high. Tshili is creative but still always puts the customer first in her design, which is essential in high-stakes projects.

Axel Hunter, founder Devin.no
I’ve worked with Tshili multiple times since meeting her at Shell in London, and she’s one of the best UX designers I’ve ever collaborated with. I’ve recommended her to clients and brought her into companies. Consistently the first person who comes to mind when I see teams struggling with UX.
