Central Team & Design Ops Lead

Cisco UCTG Design Org

  • I lead the UX Central Team for a design org of 40+ people supporting a multi-platform ecosystem of collaboration apps and devices within Cisco UCTG (Unified Communications Technology Group). My team consisted of design system specialists, UX designers, Researchers, and Front-End Developers / Design Technologists.
  • Examples of the diverse variety of product experiences I supported with my team:
  • I spearheaded the cross-functional strategy and evangelization of design system adoption and contribution across the UCTG organization.
  • I defined the structure for Core vs Extended UI libraries across CTG products. I also defined the UCTG process for design system/toolkit usage & contributions, and ensured my team actively collaborated with the toolkit development team.
  • I represented UCTG products during cross-product alignment workshops, contributing to a holistic visual strategy for the full Cisco Collaboration Technology Group’s product suite.
