Hi Design Darlings!

Hi Design Darlings! Wanted to introduce myself to the group...

My name is Deb and I’m an empathetic, human centered designer with over 10 years of experience.

Most recently, I worked at Nike in color design, using consumer and trend research to inform innovative product. I owned color on the brand launch of NBA socks and designed kids apparel garnering over $100M in sales and a greatly increased presence in the China Marketplace.

I’m looking to join a design research or service design team where I can work with communities and strategize solutions for their needs- getting to know individuals and understanding their point of view is what drives me.

I have a specific interest in the healthcare sector as I have been a patient due to a chronic condition (that is luckily in remission!) and would love to help patients in any way that I can.

I’m looking to connect to other researchers and service designers for a quick 15 min chat to find out more about what you do and discuss opportunities. Please feel free to get in touch here or on linkedin if that is you! And of course if I can help or support you in any way feel free to ask :)
