“If you are looking for freelance design work and you like Messari’s product, you should get in touch with @heyfayehays. Best designer I’ve worked with and good PM chops to boot.”
—Ryan Selkis, CEO of Messari.io

“Faye is a rare talent. Her skill set spans the conceptual, the technical and the artistic. At Village, she led our efforts to understand our users, identify their problems, and design meaningful solutions. While it was obvious to everyone that she was the most valuable person on our team, she carried herself without a trace of ego or entitlement. I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to work with her again very soon. The bottom line is this: if you value elegant simplicity in solving a problem, developing a product or building a company, you want to work with Faye.”
—Chris Winn, Founder & CEO of Village for Parents

“Faye’s attitude, energy, and knowledge make her an amazing asset and great teammate. I wholeheartedly vouch for Faye!”
—Jason Stirman, Product Design @Facebook, former exec at Medium

“Enthusiastic, smart, diligent and clear, Faye is also fun to work with. On top of that she has good understanding of the functional and aesthetic elements of design. Faye designed the UI for our music performance app, fully understanding the psychological tone as well as the practical needs of our users. I was very pleased to have worked with her and would love to work with her again.”

— Paul Henry-Smith, Founder of Cadenza

“Faye works quickly, understands brand clearly, sweats the details, works with developers beautifully and most importantly generates volumes of new, wild, brilliant ideas. In our case she got us what we needed but also things we needed and didn’t realize we needed, and made it all a part of a integral whole so that the concept, function and form became one.”
—Mark Mullen, founder of NGO Orbeliani

“Faye’s incredibly smart and a top notch designer. She took our product designs in bold new directions; right where they needed to go.”
