Testimonials from colleagues at Dilawri Group of Companies

“Mikayla is genuinely the most positive person I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She IS that person who is always happy, always positive, always smiling and always happy to share her positive attitude with others. Her presence alone is enough to brighten anyone’s day. On top of this, she is an incredibly talented and hardworking designer who is always eager to tackle new obstacles, and overcome challenges. I’ve watched her learn countless new programs with ease, only to turn around to challenge herself to learn more and improve the next project. Her dedication to her career development is fantastic, and it shows in her work ethic, attitude, and her never ending smile.”

“Not only does Mikayla have a real creative flair, but she is also exceptionally hardworking, organized and diligent - you can always trust her to just get on with whatever needs to be done without any need for reminders or chasing.

Attitude-wise, she's the very definition of a can-do person, always up for whatever challenge comes her way, even if, in some cases, they may involve learning entirely new skills. She's also very open to working collaboratively, taking on comments and suggestions from stakeholders, and incorporating them into her design work in such a way that leaves everyone happy. Add this to her friendly, relaxed general demeanor and you've really got yourself a model colleague.

Working with Mikayla has been both an honor and a pleasure, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
