I've worked with Trina for more than ten years, on numerous complex, mission-critical, digital projects. She is an exceptionally talented design professional with wide-ranging skills. As a superb designer with a deep understanding of user experience and technology, as a talented and caring manager, and as a business-oriented team leader with impeccable presentation skills, Trina has been a key player in most of Starwood's significant digital initiatives. She is also, importantly, a person of integrity who strives always to do the right thing for the team, for the business, and for the user.

I have been fortunate to have been a part of the majority of brands redesigns we have conducted over the years. In that time I have seen Trina’s vision and impact grow with each subsequent project. Her involvement with the brands, specifically on the web, has lent sophistication and grace to our sites. Trina’s passion for her designs is contagious and has certainly pushed us on the development side to match her amazing work.

Trina has many qualities that make her great at what she does: creative vision, a fantastic sense of design, deep knowledge of branding, frightening attention to detail and the ability to problem solve with the best of them. What stands out most to me, though, is the passion she brings to everything she does. Whether she’s mentoring a designer, working with the tech group or presenting to a client she always gives 110%. Always.

As a digital product manager, there are key people in an organization I look to for guidance, both strategically and operationally. Trina has the rare ability to provide strategic vision, while also understanding how to bring those high-level ideas to fruition. I regularly look to her for direction on all types of projects, from a social connect microsite to large scale brand redesigns. Trina is a nurturing manager, an accomplished designer, and a passionate teammate. All qualities that make working with her an absolute pleasure.

Nothing I accomplished at Starwood would have been possible without Trina as she is the greatest creative partner I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She is the combination of a world-class designer, innovative thinker, brilliant presenter and inspirational leader. Any team should want her on the front lines of their company as she will transform their work and culture.
