What Clients are Saying

Catherine led a human-centered design team to develop a solution that increased COVID-19 testing enrollment for the NIH School TLC Study. She guided stakeholders through the design process & facilitated a solution workshop, proposed options, created and tested a prototype. Catherine’s leadership and collaboration made the experience both productive and enjoyable.

Program Manager, NIH e-consent School TLC Study

Without question, Catherine possesses some of the most polished interpersonal skills I have observed, and this particular quality has proven exceptionally useful in developing a cohesive team. Her superb personal initiative coupled with a positive, can-do attitude has been nothing short of exemplary, and she is always the first one out of the gate regardless of the complexity of the task.

Her innate ability to quickly grasp commander’s intent, accurately place it into context, and then develop viable products is unparalleled among her peers. Absolutely an invaluable member of the Program team!

Plans & Policy Lead, USMC

I've been extremely impressed with, pleased by, and thankful for Catherine's contributions to the team. She continues to effectively manage and mentor her team, has made some great hires, and applies rigor and attention to detail to the research she and her team perform. In addition, she has really stepped up in the growth front to help contribute to solutioning, task management, and writing for proposals. I think she should continue doing what she's doing and look to effectively incorporate and delegate to/coach her team for proposals and continue working with Dara and me to expand her BD and ICF business management knowledge, as she is poised in my view as someone who will continue to grow and lead at ICF.

Partner, ICF Next

Catherine has led and built a UX research team that is excelling on multiple projects. Since she has started at ICF, she has improved both the quality of deliverables and the staff that work under her. I am impressed with how she gathers collaborative feedback from the whole team early in the process, executes the research strategy and delivers results that don't just inform but show what action needs to happen. All of the staff she has hired have been excellent to work with!
