What my peers have to say…
Sarah Harris
Senior Product Designer (Monetisation Team) @ SimplePractice
"I had the pleasure of working closely with Diya on the Product Monetization squad at SimplePractice, where she took full end-to-end ownership of a new billing solution for our insurance credentialing product from exploration through final designs. From the start, she showed a strong ability to navigate ambiguity, ask thoughtful questions, and quickly build a deep understanding of the problem space. One of her biggest strengths is how naturally she asked and gathered feedback throughout her process and turned it into meaningful iterations, always keeping the end user in mind. She communicates her thinking clearly and takes initiative to collaborate with cross-functional teams, which made her a really effective partner. She’s also incredibly organized in her work, bringing structure and clarity to complex problems. Diya brings a contagious sense of positivity and curiosity that makes her an absolute joy to work with. I’m excited to see how she continues to grow and would highly recommend working with her. Any team would be lucky to have her."
Josh Waldman
Senior Product Designer (Insurance Team) @ SimplePractice
"Diya has been a diligent, thoughtful collaborator on the insurance-focused billing work we’ve done together. She consistently goes above and beyond to communicate with stakeholders, quickly identifying gaps in understanding and pushing for design excellence through quick iteration and rapid feedback cycles while showing a high level of ownership and initiative. Insurance is a complex problem space, and Diya uses all of the tools at her disposal to learn about the space and push for common sense solutions. Diya’s willingness to experiment is great to watch, and I’ve been consistently impressed by the quality of her design work. Watching her growth has been great to watch; she’s a great thinker who would be a huge asset to any design team."
James Lyons
Lead Product Designer @ SimplePractice
"I had the pleasure of mentoring Diya during her tenure at SimplePractice, and she stood out quickly. She's eager to learn, asks sharp questions, and moves fast on projects without sacrificing quality.
When faced with ambiguous problems, Diya doesn't get stuck. She breaks them down, finds the signal in the noise, and drives toward clear, user-centered solutions. She was proactive about seeking feedback, iterating on her work, and grounding her decisions in both user needs and product constraints.
Diya has the mindset and maturity of a much more experienced designer. I'd highly recommend her for any product design role where ownership, speed, and thoughtful problem-solving are valued."
Paul Ambas
Product Manager @SimplePractice
"I had the opportunity to work closely with Diya on the Calendar squad at SimplePractice where I led product and she owned design across several initiatives. As a PM, what stood out immediately was her strong product intuition- she consistently approached design problems with a clear understanding of user needs, product goals, and technical constraints. Diya has a rare ability to take ambiguous ideas and quickly translate them into thoughtful, intuitive experiences that help teams move forward with clarity. She was a fantastic partner to work with - proactive, highly collaborative with engineering, and always pushing the team toward better product decisions. Any product team would be fortunate to have Diya as a designer."
