Designing the IDEO employee experience.
IDEO is one of the most inspiring workplaces on the planet—a place where we come to do the best creative work of our lives and have a disproportionate positive impact on the world through design.
As co-leader of IDEO’s Talent team, I help design what it means to be an IDEOer. I shape the full employee experience—from joining and growing, to teaching, contributing, and transitioning into alumnihood—working at the intersection of talent strategy, employee experience, and learning & development.
