Testimonials & Featured Clients

Wendy is very intuitive, calm, and clearly articulates our needs. With her help, the excruciating process of going back and forth with business requirements became less burdensome. She gave us multiple solution options and clearly pointed out the pros and cons from each. I greatly appreciate working with Wendy. We’re currently rolling out the solution she recommended to a wider group of colleagues in Asia Pacific.

Rhita Simorangkir Conservation Impact Scientist, AP Conservation and Science Team, The Nature Conservancy

Wendy skillfully led our team through a thorough and illuminating user experience exercise for Mapping Ocean Wealth, a map-based decision support tool led by my team at The Nature Conservancy. Based on the insights gathered through the process, we implemented key functionality updates on the site that have been extremely well received! We loved working with Wendy on this process!

Kate Longley-Wood Marine Spatial Planning Science Manager, The Nature Conservancy

As a Senior Product Manager, Wendy and team managed one of the most critical systems used by Nature Conservancy staff today. [The Conservation Hub] enables staff the ability to correlate and track conservation data for domestic and worldwide application. Her knowledge of the system was second to none. She demonstrated a high proficiency in understanding every aspect of the system which greatly benefited staff who required the system to do their jobs. I am confident, that as Wendy begins a new chapter of design and product management consultation, her clients will quickly realize how valuable she is and will trust her to create new or make better an existing product. Be her next client.

A little about me

Hello, I’m Wendy Harrell, a Senior User Researcher and Experience Designer for more than a decade. I’ve worked for the non-profit and e-commerce industries. 

To me, good design must be …

  • data-driven, 
  • outcome-based, and
  • user-focused

    I’m passionate about … collaborating and building relationships with clients and remote teams.

    Outside of work… you’ll find me exploring the natural beauty of Rhode Island with my dogs.
