Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
In my first foray into design leadership, I led a team of 7 product designers with diverse skill levels—ranging from junior to senior—supporting mission-critical tools for AI-driven biomedical research.
Reporting directly to the Director of Product Design, I balanced coaching, hiring, and team rituals with driving product outcomes across multiple streams. Helped shape design vision and execution for BenchSci’s internal platforms, aligning scientific complexity with clarity and usability. Invested in team growth through structured feedback, mentorship, and design critiques, while partnering cross-functionally to ensure design was tightly integrated into agile product development.
