Demystifying Design
for Product People

Real UX. Better Collaboration. Stronger Products.

Hello, I'm Elizabeth

I'm a design executive, experience strategist, and fierce advocate for better collaboration between product, engineering, and UX.

For over 20 years, I’ve helped teams build great products, not just through better design, but by helping people actually understand what design is.

 

Today, I focus on demystifying UX for product-minded folks. I share practical, real-world insights that make design more accessible, impactful, and essential to product success.

 

If you’ve ever wondered what your designer was really thinking, why a “small tweak” isn’t so small, or how to make UX your superpower (not your stumbling block) you’re in the right place.
