About
I am a design leader who gets excited about making complicated products intuitive, and easy to use.
I have a passion for tech and IT, and I balance a fascination with the technical aspects of my roles with the enjoyment of working authentically and joyfully with others. I have a service leadership style, aiming for kindness and support while driving strategy, making tough calls, and getting stuff done. I am an expert in distilling broad information and communicating it simply through graphic recording (‘sketchnotes’) and the written word. I've enjoyed being a key contributor to the "Designing Atlassian" Medium publication.
