I’ve worked in agency, big 4 consulting and in-house product companies and one thing always remains true; the true value of design is misunderstood.
More often than not, design is just as underplayed as an investment by the designers, as it is recognised as an asset by the execs paying for it.
I’ve seen firsthand how great design can elevate a business. I’ve been part of some exceptional product releases that have helped clients explode in their marketplace. But I’ve also got the scar tissue. Of failing design teams, poor operational planning, inconsistent experiences and frustrated users.
Scars are lessons learnt though, right. I want to take all of these lessons and help grow successful businesses. I believe systems thinking design can be a profit multiplier.
