June 2025 Awardee

Laura Trial 

Sr. Business Process Analyst 

Laura Trial Award and head shot

As a UX/UI Designer in the Mobile/Web Systems department, Laura has taken the lead in improving our internal Figma component library, identifying areas that needed refinement and taking full ownership of its next iteration. She introduced consistent themes and colors that align more closely with developer expectations, resulting in a smoother, more efficient handoff between design and development. These enhancements are already streamlining our workflows and strengthening collaboration across the team. Most recently, Laura has been a driving force behind the Outcomes Assessment update project. She brings a sharp eye for detail, a deep understanding of user-centered design, and a strong collaborative spirit to everything she works on.

Beyond her design contributions, Laura is known for her thoughtful engagement in working sessions. She’s always ready with a FigJam sketch, a helpful suggestion, or a well-timed moment of clarity that brings the group into alignment. Since our teams merged last year, she has embraced new challenges with enthusiasm and truly flourished in her role. Laura's initiative, creativity, and team-first mindset make her an invaluable part of our team's success.
