In a nutshell
mindful design leadership
I help organizations to transform by creating ecosystems, experiences, products, and services that people love.
From heading design for thriving start-ups to leading Product, UX, and Creative in roles like Chief Designer/ Hiring Manager and/or VP of Design for Huawei, PayPal, and others, and now moved into the world of consulting, I’m a modern Renaissance person with a past in being formally trained in classical music (voice, piano), the humanities, communication design (Art Center College of Design) and writing. I’m Abi Brody, and for more than two decades, I’ve consistently been delivering amazing and world-class experiences for products that delight millions.
My global teams have been delivering design-led innovation across mobile, the cloud platform, IoT, AI, desktop applications, iOS, macOSX for Apple, EMUI for Huawei Consumer, and more. I am passionate about inclusive ‘customer-centric’, multi-disciplinary design organizations that empower design and product teams to be obsessed with results and the details. Customer relevance and unprecedented revenue growth are the ultimate proof. Across uncounted products and product lines and multiple studios worldwide, I led 300+ of the world’s most talented user experience design professionals — creatives, strategists, human interface designers, user experience designers, content designers, visual and motion designers, qualitative researchers, data scientists, and producers aka design project managers.
My real focus is to instill in each of my team members a sense of wonder, purpose, and urgency to realize a company’s collective vision (alongside a dose of reality) and embolden them for swift decision-making so that innovation and craftsmanship thrive and customer satisfaction are always the outcome. Because being a yardstick of quality isn’t easy. Design does neither start nor end at software code. Still, it involves every touch-point, including typography, tone of voice, onboarding, or merchandise critical for the user journey and a healthy ecosystem. So my goal is to create an environment where design is part of a company’s core DNA.
If that sounds like qualities that align with yours, let’s talk.
