Upwork Client
Shaakirah Hilbert was a pleasure to work with. She is well motivated and self-motivated. She needed no encouragement from me. She did some original research in order to better fulfill her mandate. I found that both refreshing and rewarding as she independently came up with some good thoughts and designs. She's worth more than she charges. She's not interested in padding the timesheets or taking advantage of the customer. If anything, I think she discounts her hours some in order to keep costs to the customer down. I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience or the product. Brava, Shaakirah.
