My day-to-day is a mix of strategic planning, cross-functional collaboration, and hands-on design leadership. I usually start by checking in with the teams I support—this could be design, product, or marketing—to align on priorities, unblock any issues, and review progress on current initiatives.
Throughout the week, I lead or join working sessions—like customer journey mapping, sprint reviews, retros, stakeholder syncs, or workshops. I also spend time reviewing user feedback, support tickets, or analytics to identify patterns and surface actionable insights.
A big part of my role is working with product and engineering to translate those insights into real improvements—whether prototyping a better flow, improving microcopy, or simplifying a process that’s causing user friction.
I also carve out time for mentoring and managing designers, sharing best practices, and evolving our approach—making sure we’re consistent, human-centered, and aligned with business goals.
So while the work varies, I’d say my days are centered around connecting dots between people, data, and experiences—to make things simpler, smarter, and more meaningful for users.
