Dear Hiring Manager:

You’re busy and your capacity for attention is likely maxed out. Before we go into how I’ve nurtured teams into thriving, let’s talk about what you can expect from our working relationship.

You’ll generate your best ideas yet if you're willing to be vulnerable with me as a co-collaborator. As a confidant and advisor. Come to me with your half baked ideas and vague intuitions and I’ll help you bring clarity and language. I’ve coached my managers into promotions in previous jobs. I’ll keep you honest and earn your trust quickly.

Your team will generate more big vision ideas because I’m a talented facilitator. I LOVE making spaces for people to do their best work. Whether creating rituals, smoothing out the wrinkles in the design process, or running internal workshops, I know how to bring out generative ideas with strategic impact.

You’ll enjoy stronger working relationships while I do my thing as a silo-buster and stakeholder whisperer. I’m great at knowing what’s going on and can bring cohesion and connection between your teams and partners.

Your team will become more creative and innovative because you will grow as a leader who values restful practices. Between the systemic burnout from work-oriented identities and the emotional cost of UX, it’s imperative to build cultural rhythms of rest and work—especially for high-performing creatives. The most effective, creative, and innovative people I know are the ones who are unhurried and well-rested. (And if this is a growth area for you, I’m also available as a coach!)

Your company/product vision will become clearer because I’m an excellent storyteller. Truth be told, I don’t thrive under constantly changing goal posts. However, I’d love to help you refine and iterate, especially from a storytelling perspective. From customer journeys to storytelling frameworks, my narrative toolkit is at your disposal.

We’re both integrated, vulnerable beings who need time and support to grow. We’re all bringing our personal trauma (plus the chaos of the last few years) to the workplace where we clumsily try to work it out—particularly people in leadership. If you’re not interested in growing together, I may not be the right candidate for you.
