Growth by Design

I once heard that you learn from solving a problem once, but you grow from solving the same problem multiple times. Previously, I learned print, broadcast, packaging, and digital design. But, my 12-year journey from Senior Designer to Senior Design Manager at eBay is where I experienced growth.

I started as a Senior Designer and went from hands-on design and art direction of marketing campaigns to Design Lead, coaching junior and mid-level designers to create campaigns.

Then, as a Design Manager, I moved on to agency management, ensuring creative quality through reviews, guidelines, and templates. Later in my tenure as a Senior Design Manager, I worked on turning those guidelines and templates into Marketing Tech tools for automation, driving scale, efficiency, performance, and quality.
