I am a design leader at GoDaddy, where I am currently growing a team of 35 designers. I have 20 years of experience leading teams, driving strategy, and building great products. My day-to-day efforts are focused on product design strategy, creating a scalable team to deliver on it. My team focuses on Commerce solutions, empowering entrepreneurs and small businesses who sell online and in-store.
My background spans product strategy, product design, UX, problem & solution discovery, and design planning.
Hopefully, I'll be able to share with you the same passion and knowledge my mentors did with me. If you are in a start-up or looking for the design expertise, a product leader who is interested in working better with experience focus, a junior designer trying to find your first job or senior designer wanting to move into a Leadership role, schedule a call with me, and let's talk!
Go change the world in big ways, small ways, and everything in between. Go do something you love.

Heidi is phenomenal. She went above and beyond to have a real substantive conversation about design, career, life, and took time to answer my questions in detail. I gained a tremendous amount of confidence that I translated right away into the interviews that followed. The platform made this connection so easy, I am really blown away. Thank you!

Had a great chat with Heidi discussing how to choose the next step in your career as a designer, and some of the best environments to learn

We need more folks like Heidi to enter the coaching landscape. During the mentorship call, we navigated through my X years of experience and a little bit of her background and experience. She asked clarification-type questions to better understand my context and stitched together effective ways to make my Resume better and how I could position myself better. I feel empowered and more confident after the coaching session. Thank you, Heidi!

Was really helpful in making corrections to my portfolio and reminding me of illustrating my decision making.
