<p class='lead'>We took on one incredibly difficult task after another and we had to solve very new and different problems every day.

<p class='lead'>Taisia initially came up with a scrappy user flow that required minimal new product build, and after <span class='marker-highlight'> demonstrating the feasibility </span> of the approach she partnered closely with me and the rest of the product and engineering team to continuously iterate and translate that flow into a <span class='marker-highlight'>scalable user experience.</span> She's also an extremely clear communicator and the <span class='marker-highlight'>best technical writer</span> I've ever met.</p>
