“Jane was the lead service designer with the NS Works Digital team through four phases of a multi-year, and complex project. She was a key resource on our team that enabled us to consider the complexity and lived realities of the job seekers, employers, and frontline staff that we serve when designing our services. We are grateful to have had her on our team.”
