Learning Experiences for the Next Generation of Design Leaders

It’s hard to find meaningful, relevant leadership training once you’re deep into your design career. Most design education stops short of preparing you for the complex business and organizational challenges that come with senior roles.

I offer a variety of learning experiences for design students, practitioners, and leaders at all career levels. Contact me to discuss the possibilities!

Online Leadership Courses

My online course, Design Leadership at Scale: Director, has been rated as one of the top courses for design leadership on the Maven learning platform. The course, which I run once per quarter, is ideal for established design leaders positioning themselves for future executive roles and career advancement. Stay tuned for future course announcements soon!

Custom Trainings for In-House Teams

Bringing the core curriculum of my online leadership course to your in-house design management team allows us to customize the content and material to the address the specific conditions of your organization. In these custom trainings, we are able to apply your team’s frameworks, metrics, vocabulary, and cultural touchpoints as the basis for a dynamic, cohort-based learning experience.

Academic Lectures & Workshops

I frequently visit university studios and classrooms as a guest lecturer discussing the business of design, and leading hands-on workshops with students. Recent in-person and virtual campus visits have included Duke University, Cornell University, University of Texas, California College of Arts, and Washington University in St. Louis.

“I absolutely loved every minute of this training, what a pleasure to be part of it! The course strikes a perfect balance between insightful content, space for thoughtful discussions, and inspiring guest speakers who generously share their experiences and reflections.”
