CoLab Software

As Director of Design, I built the team from 1 to 6 Designers. We reimagined the app and launched several solutions for our users, the latest of which was Portals. Portals is a way to help engineers collaborate with supply chain stakeholders.

My time at CoLab was focused on building a strong design culture, establishing design principles, supporting a collaborative environment, and focusing on best practices to help us do our best work. This included the following things I introduced to the organization:

• Design Sprints

• Product Design Weeks

• Design Huddles

• Customer Research Studies

We also established a dedicated Design System team of 3 designers to help us scale and deliver great UI/UX with every release. This incredibly talented team designed, coded and released design components.

I also enjoyed hosting weekly 1:1s with every designer: this was my number one priority each week. It helped me support each designer and create the best environment possible by helping me anticipate needs early.

As a team, we had weekly design demos and weekly hangs to set out time for us to share our work and get to know each other better.

Here’s some of the amazing work the team has done (And yes, our designers made these videos - what an incredible group of folks.)
