As Director of Creative Services, I was charged with establishing a new department. Initially, my team consisted of front-end development, user experience design, and user interface design. Within the first year, I grew the team from 5 to 14. The FEDUX team was split into Front-end Dev (FED) and UX and I continued to grow the user experience design team. My vision for the team was to grow into large-scale, multiyear digital transformation engagements. To that end, the team was shaped to include strategy, branding, UI, UX, and Analytics. Along with recruiting, training, service design, marketing, and business development, I established process, and career development tracks. Today, the team is 20 strong, and growing. Adage's success in delivering large-scale digital transformation would not be possible without the dedication and grit of the Strategy & Design team.
