… short for Erietta.
I’m a design leader from Sydney, Australia.
I help organisations deliver new and improved products and services.
My experience across research, strategy, design, and delivery has given me the ability to readily join the dots when leading teams.
I bring a customer-centered mindset to what I do and how I lead. This provides teams with a shared understanding of people’s needs to solve obvious and less obvious problems together.
I call it the customer brief.
