I am pleased to recommend Samira Emami. I have had the opportunity to work closely with Samira for 3 years at UnitedHealthcare/Optum, where she has consistently demonstrated strong design expertise, professionalism, and a collaborative approach to solving complex challenges.
One of Samira’s greatest strengths is her ability to quickly understand ambiguous problems and translate them into thoughtful, user-centered solutions. Whether working on onboarding experiences, document center initiatives, or other strategic efforts, she brings clarity to complex situations and keeps projects moving forward with confidence.
Samira is an exceptional collaborator who builds strong relationships with cross-functional partners. She communicates clearly, asks thoughtful questions, and actively seeks feedback to ensure the best possible outcomes for both users and the business. Her positive attitude and willingness to support teammates make her a valued partner on any project.
In addition to her collaboration skills, Samira is highly skilled at creating prototypes and bringing concepts to life. She combines strong design thinking with attention to detail, allowing stakeholders to visualize solutions and make informed decisions quickly.
Perhaps most importantly, Samira is dependable, adaptable, and committed to delivering high-quality work. She approaches challenges with a calm, solutions-oriented mindset and consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic.
Sincerely,
Julie Seely - Associate Director, UX/CX Design, United Healthcare/Optum
