Leading Product Vision and Design at Wood Mackenzie
As a Senior Product Designer at Wood Mackenzie, I led design for the "Lens" platform across multiple scrum teams, ensuring consistency and a strong user focus through direct customer engagement and user research. I was instrumental in shaping the product vision and building the design system from scratch. For my last four months, I served as Acting Head of Design, taking on management duties and strategic planning with Product Managers.
