Coaching and training in leadership, design craft and team effectiveness
I help design teams and design leaders achieve their potential
I’ve spent my career building and growing teams, including working at Atlassian for 10 years doing everything from hands on new product design, to forming and running globally distributed design teams.
I coach design leaders and design teams on how to flourish and make strategic impact. More about me

The vast majority of leadership skills I teach can be applied to any leadership role. If you're interested in leadership coaching but don’t work in a design field, book a free intro call and I can tailor an approach to match your context.
