After being laid off recently and some important personal time to reflect, I’m now looking for my next opportunity in design leadership.
About me and what I’m looking for below.

Please RT 🙏🙏

--
For almost 20 years, I’ve been designing products and brands that have been used by hundreds of millions of people around the world. At Solana, Credit Karma, and Evernote, I’ve led teams of super talented designers, but we’ve always been focused on taking big bets and launching industry shaping products.

In the next chapter, I’m open to exploring, but here’s what I’m looking for.
-A great team with great designers.
-I’m not looking to be hands on, but certain player/coach roles may be ok.
-Industry agnostic, but AI is high on my list.
-Needs to have a strong consumer aspect.
-Needs to be ready for really big growth.
-Design needs to be mission critical for the company (i.e. If they don’t differentiate on design, they won’t win)
-Remote is great. In office in the Bay Area some is ok.

I’d love to talk to anybody that is looking to build something really special.

Hey y’all, I’m looking for a new role as a design manager. Your team hiring or know of anyone that is?

If you're looking for a relational leader who builds high trust, high performing teams, while balancing strategy and quality, I’d love to chat. Ready to start immediately.

Would mean a ton if you shared this, only if you're comfortable.

@mialoira +1 to the XM4. My daily driver. Great price right now, too. https://t.co/tM6Rw54h3f

Yessssss @visualelectric! Maps to familiar design process and patterns first (discovery, ideation) then adds a leg up from AI.

Thank you and keep it up @colindunn 🙌
