Sketches to Strategy
Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace Being a Leader

Becoming a design leader is a challenge in and of itself. Moving up in seniority often means moving further away from the day to day craft of design – something which can be difficult to handle. This talk speaks to that and other challenges and how, as design leaders, we can rethink our notions of leadership, success, and even design to be more effective.

Presented at Design Leadership Summit, Toronto, September 2018
