I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Ilke Ingram and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s not only an incredibly talented UX designer—bringing clean, intuitive, and user-focused solutions to every project—but also a true partner in the development process. Her designs are always thoughtful and purposeful, which makes the handoff to devs so much smoother and more efficient.

On top of her skills, Ilke is just a joy to work with. She’s calm under pressure, communicative, and genuinely cares about creating great experiences for both users and teammates. I’ve learned a lot from her and will truly miss having her on our team.

Any organization would be lucky to have her on board. Don’t miss the chance to work with someone as sharp, dedicated, and kind as Ilke.

I had the absolute pleasure of calling Ilke both a colleague and a mentor during her time as a Senior UX Designer at Hilton. Each day I was inspired by the grace and ease with which she balanced the needs of diverse user groups, complex technical constraints, stakeholder priorities, and business objectives—consistently delivering thoughtful, elegant design solutions that scaled seamlessly across 8,000+ global sites.

As a collaborative creative partner, Ilke consistently impressed me with her ability to advocate for the user and communicate design concepts with calm clarity and persuasive insight. She has a rare gift for making everyone in the room feel heard, respected, and engaged—regardless of their background or role.

Ilke’s big-picture thinking and strategic mindset drove meaningful progress toward our team’s design goals, and her infectious enthusiasm for the craft brought energy and inspiration to every conversation. Her impact and legacy will be felt for a long time to come—and any organization would be incredibly fortunate to have her.

Ilke is, without a doubt, one of the most talented UX designer I’ve had the pleasure of working with. From the moment she joined our team, she made an immediate impact. She jumped into several behind-schedule projects and quickly helped bring them back on track—while simultaneously driving new user experience improvements and generating a steady stream of A/B test ideas.

Thanks to her contributions, we’ve seen measurable improvements in both the quality and quantity of user-focused enhancements. At Hilton, she’s consistently worked across multiple teams, delivering high-quality, thoughtful design work—always with an impressive ability to make the complex look effortless. Any team would be lucky to have Ilke—she’s a rare combination of creative talent, strategic thinking, and flawless execution.

UI/UX Designer

I worked with Ilke at Hilton when she led UX design for the Property sector. She’s an absolute powerhouse UX Designer and can work through a complex problem without getting bogged down by small details. She’s also incredibly organized, making it super easy to collaborate with her.

Ilke and I worked together on templating over 5,000 property pages for Hilton, which was no easy feat. She was great at synthesizing user feedback, business needs and UI design into prototypes ready for testing. She was always on track, on brand and open to feedback throughout the process. I’d highly recommend Ilke for any team looking for an experienced Senior UX designer.
