International Operations for Community and Design Education at Canva - Ensuring that our Creators program scales smoothly all around the globe Enterprise Design via Toptal.com - Keeping my design background hands-on by working with amazing clients for enterprise product design Design Mentor at Designlab - Mentoring entry-level designers for 6+ months


SOME THINGS I DO:

I turn chaos into clarity (the more chaotic, the better!) set up and evaluate processes and metrics, establish and grow teams, design products, mentor/coach product designers, manage performance (from a few to 400+), hold quality standards, and ultimately empower others to leverage the power of design.



Our Board of Directors

We are a group of long time designers that are passionate about helping grow and educate the design community. While there are any great independent resources scattered about, there is no place dedicated to help educate and inform those looking to entire the design field. It is our goal to make this community-based app a premiere educational resource for designers to network and have a central repository of career opportunities, events and much more.


Our Contributors

A non-profit organization is only as good as the volunteers it is able to recruit to donate their time to help build our vision.

Below are some of the integral members that have made signficant contributions to our platform!
