Rhea Alexander - Product Designer and Strategist.
“I met Esther through the Strategy Design and Management graduate
program at Parsons where I am now an Assist. Professor I realized she had
talent and dedication. What stood out was her high level of participation;
interest in learning, ability to think out of the box, deep quality of research,
exist knowledge and passion to development her work. She is highly motivated
and possesses a natural enthusiasm for working with people.”
Joaquin Ivars - Phd. in Philosophy of the Arts
“I have known Esther since five years ago, when she was a student in the
Contemporary Art Official Master at European University of Madrid, where
I was her art project tutor. Her excellent academic and collaborative
attitude, made me to include her on several research and educational
innovation projects that I carried out. At all times, her personal involvement
in the work and their ability to work together has always been rated very
positively”. .
