I have had the pleasure of working with Roula for three years, and can attest to her strengths as a project manager and her talents in effectively inspiring and leading her staff. She is very strong on process and has taken initiative to identify and implement process improvements within the Corporate Creative Services department. She cares deeply about the quality of her work and of her staff's, and consistently demonstrates attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and professionalism.

Jenn Neuman
Senior Graphic Designer at ICF and Founder of Hip House Design Studio
Roula is an amazing manager, mentor and role model. As a manager she was fair, decisive and supported her team by recognizing and rewarding collaboration, cooperation and activities contributing to others' success. She has a very keen eye for design and always gave me excellent direction on my work, while also encouraging me and my fellow designers to step outside of our comfort zones so that we could grow within our positions...
As a mentor, I truly look up to Roula. I have worked alongside many brilliant people who are extremely good at what they do, and I’ve paid attention. The way she ran her team with such ease and professionalism made us the envy of the department. Her organizational skills, quality assurance techniques, and best practices stand above any I’ve ever seen, and her sense of fairness balanced with strong leadership qualities are all things I will carry with me into my future endeavors.

As the creative director for ICF, Roula was efficient, focused and extremely thorough. She is always willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done, even under tight time constraints. Roula understands her client’s brand and can quickly pull together the right resources to achieve the project objective. She truly is a wealth of knowledge in her field and has a positive upbeat attitude for anything that comes her way. One of my favorite things about Roula is her thoughtful feedback on design. Bottom line, Roula makes things happen. In the four years we worked together, I was always impressed with her ability to consider strategic issues, creative concepts and practical applications. Roula’s flexible approach, dedication to the task, and personable nature made her a delight to have as a colleague.
