Manuela Czernatowicz is an inventive User Experience (UX) Designer Manager from Prague, Czech Republic who researches, designs, and analyzes data to improve our digital products. Manuela’s most fulfilling parts of being at Accolade are getting to work with genuine people, connecting with women in our Women Empowering Women Employee Resource Group (WEW ERG), developing software, and making Accolade’s member experience as seamless as possible. Growing up, you could always find Manuela creating something: painting, assembling glass pieces, and hand-dying fabrics called batik. Her love of creation combined with her study of psychology led her to discovering UX. In her first internship as a UX Designer, Manuela strengthened her skills in writing, researching, and building mockups, but she emphasizes her most important skill learned was networking, collaborating, and problem-solving with diverse groups of people. There are so many people Manuela is inspired by to be her best self every day at Accolade. She is grateful for her UX team members who are always willing to help and give a good laugh. “They exemplify how much you can achieve through hard work, but I also call them friends, and amazingly we are all working towards the same goals.” Manuela also points to the Women Empowering Women ERG, “It takes a village to achieve anything. To be able to find women who are willing to help other women, give support when needed, and have access to amazing mentors within the WEW ERG is something I am proud of.” Manuela shared that much of what contributed to her success is the support of her team, ERG, and mentors throughout her time at Accolade. Manuela’s advice to other young professionals is: “Do not be afraid to connect with people. Find people who drive you to be your best self and challenge you in the best ways possible.” #WeAreAccolade #AccoladeStrongerTogether #WomenEmpoweringWomenERG Comment below who challenges you to be your best self ⬇️
