Work Experience

2022 — Now
Lead Service Designer, Advisory Services at Atlassian
Remote

Currently building the first Service Design practice for Atlassian's Customer Success org and CX & Strategic Programs team.

In our first year of re-positioning the Advisory Services, our work accelerated our time-to-market by 3x (compared to industry benchmarks), contributed to improving speed-to-sale by 30% as well as increasing revenue by 40%.

2021 — 2022
Senior Service Designer at CIBC
Toronto

I worked with a small multidisciplinary team that combined human insights / qualitative research with service design, behavioural science, and experience design, in order to leverage design thinking for problems across the bank.

Embedded specifically within a unique partnership with Enterprise Process Management & Business Transformation, we used human-centered design methodologies to build empathy with clients and employees, co-creating inclusive solutions alongside internal and external partners through an iterative and experimentation-led approach to problem solving. Our qualitative research and design process built the foundations for new financial services, products, and experiences.
