Leading design feels like a different job

Product design leadership coaching sessions will help you lead with clarity, confidence, and independence — while your organization gets a more strategic design function (the kind your Head of Product actually asks for).

You were chosen because you’re strong, but the shift from great designer to a design lead can be difficult. 

I will be your sparring partner, helping you go through it without stress and sleepless nights.

Product design leadership coaching for Design Leads

Caught between designing and leading

You’re still the best designer
(and that’s the problem)

You jump in to save quality and keep things moving.

Your team stays dependent on you, and you can’t build leverage.

Product design leadership coaching helps you focus on what only you can do: strategize and lead forward.

You’re managing five directions at once

Design system, core product, content, motion, “that new strategic thing”… and you’re constantly context-switching.

You’re expected to operate across disconnected teams and unclear product & engineering processes.

Our design leadership coaching space will help you prioritize the right next step.

Design shows up too late

You’re reacting to decisions instead of shaping them.

Trust with C-level and upper management doesn’t get built, and design stays a service to the product & engineering.

Product design leadership coaching sessions will help with mapping and prioritizing key stakeholders to build strong relationships with.
