Case Studies
Scaling a People-First Design Agency to Acquisition
In 2017, I set out to build my first solo venture — a design agency that could deliver world-class UX leadership while putting people before pixels. The challenge was to grow from a new studio into a trusted partner for startups and enterprises, while maintaining culture, balance, and reputation in a competitive market.
