Hiring & Leading a Product DesignerHarpieApr - Dec 2024
I spearheaded the hiring process to bring on our first product design intern, working with our co-founder to find someone who could grow with the team. My focus was on creating a supportive and playful environment where mutual accountability, great design, and open communication could thrive.

As a mentor, I guided them through key projects, offering feedback and fostering confidence in skills like user research and cross-functional collaboration. By the end of their time, they had evolved into a strong, independent designer who contributed meaningfully to our team, landing a subsequent internship at a major financial institution.
