Design strategy for business leaders. Audrey helps executives understand design and use it to their advantage.
Audrey helps business leaders understand design and use it as a strategic advantage. She wrote the book on it: What CEOs Need to Know About Design, the primer executives reach for when they know design matters but are not sure how to build it, buy it, or manage it.
With a user research background, years running design teams, and serving as a thought partner to internal leaders, she bridges the gap between what executives need and what design teams deliver. She works best with leaders making real decisions about design: how to invest in it, how to hire for it, how to set it up so it pays off. She also steps into interim design leadership during transitions: building a first team, covering a departing leader, or holding the seat while the right long-term hire is found.
Executives do not need to become designers. They need to know what to ask for, what good looks like, and how to tell whether they are getting it. That is a learnable skill, and it is worth more than most hires.
Audrey speaks to executive teams and conferences about design as a business advantage. Tell her about the room and the audience, and she will tell you whether it is a fit.
