"In the period Carla worked with us, she proved capable of adapting quickly to new situations. She is a cheerful and curious person, but at the same time she has a high sense of responsibility, she also is thoughtful and able to hear. Carla is always ready to help colleagues with ideas and valuable opinions."

"Carla is a designer that in the period she worked at HDG Azores left an excellent image as a professional. She rapidly integrated the team and easily learned the spirit and methodology here at HDG.
She has a good knowledge of all work tools, which give her great flexibility to work on different platforms for different outcomes. I believe that her professionalism is due to her academic education, but also thanks to her development as a person. Carla is polite, respectful of her colleagues' space and respects schedules. But above all she is responsible. This is why, she knows that although it is important to be on time, the most important is the fulfillment of the task and the responsibility assigned to her.
In addition to the technical, methodological and behavioral aspects, whenever necessary, Carla presented good conceptualizations and strategic rationales to the work she had to develop. The last relevant point that shows a true team spirit is the fact that Carla is always available to help her team and colleagues, both in terms of her professional and personal skills."
