Hey Fediverse 👋 I’m a Lead Product Designer, so I’ll mostly be talking about and following people who are interested in the craft of product design (or whatever we’re calling that discipline this week).
Technology and leading product teams will probably come up a lot too. Let's chat.
An #introduction, or reconnection for those who used to follow me at that Bird thing: I’m a professional engineer and designer with a keen interest in #DesignLeadership, #DesignOps, #UX, #InfoDesign, #DataViz, and #Typography. I currently work as the Head of UX at a major financial software company, where I lead the UX research, product design, design operations, technical writing, and localization teams. Before moving to the tech sector, I worked in management consulting, and, prior to that, I was a mechanical and industrial engineer working in aerospace and defence. When I’m not at my day job, I teach design at OCAD, where I’ve been a faculty member for over a decade. I’ve lived in Toronto for most of my adult life but given that my employer is now permanently remote I recently moved to the small town of Stratford, where my partner @kteahen and I have a house which is about to undergo a major renovation. 🤞
