I founded this career coaching and consulting company to help those individuals and companies who struggle finding their path with Design. I’ve experienced the same patterns and blockers across all industries and company sizes from the individual designers not having fulfilling careers, to design teams of hundreds be misaligned and unproductive. I advise:- Executives who have designers under them who struggle to hire and inspire great designers.- Design teams how to work at scale with modern design>dev ops, design systems, and master facilitation skills.- The individual designer on how to navigate their careers and redefine career success to not only include promotions but also deeper meaning for them.

Lovingly referred to as the Design Team Therapist in my role at InVision. I created the an entirely new pre-to-post sales deployment model and directly consulted for many international enterprise design teams like Citibank, Boeing, Bank of America, and many more. While the role was officially was post-sales, I frequently was pulled into pre-sales activities by sales reps as the resident expert in design team operations, scaling design practices, and facilitating client workshops. I also managed (hiring, coaching, and developed career pathing) a team of consultants who guided clients through the daunting task of launching their design system. This included implementation of InVision’s Design System Manager (DSM), Design System governance models, and architecture of their Design System assets.

Joined IBM Cloud to manage the Cloud Platform Design team. After experiencing the massive design and dev inefficiencies across the dozens of IBM Cloud teams, I then envisioned, pitched, got approval for, and hired a team to create IBM’s first Tiered Design System, The Cloud Pattern and Asset Library, aka Cloud PAL. Cloud PAL was the UI foundation for the rebrand and relaunch IBM Cloud’s 150+ apps, covering nearly $7B in business, 400 designers, and 4000 engineers+. I oversaw the design adoption for Cloud PAL and it’s 173 components & patterns, plus robust governance model. This resulted in saving an average of 2,000 developer hours per pattern, an 80% efficiency increase.This PAL model is now used across IBM to leverage the IBM’s global Design System, Carbon, to be used much more effectively by the divisions of product teams.

“Best story of design at IBM in 3 years” - Phil Gilbert, GM of IBM DesignAmid the Great Design Transformation at IBM, led the deployment of Enterprise Design Thinking (EDT) to a legacy organization of over 3000. Converted laggards into promoters of EDT, which set off a workshop boom - conducting 50+ of them in an 18 month period with hundreds of participants. This enabled me to lead a cross-functional research, design, and dev team to design and launch IBM POWER’s first SaaS app. This app supports enterprise IT admins, allowing them to manage the updates of thousands of servers in a unified way. The solution and project execution was so successful that Phil Gilbert, GM of IBM Design called it the *“Best story of design at IBM in 3 years”*
