Investing in innovation while maintaining app store ratings

At SiriusXM, Pandora, and Stitcher, I managed a design org including individual contributors and managers up to the Director level, leading the design of in-market and new products that spanned 20+ digital streaming devices - including native iOS and Android apps, desktop, tablet, smart watches, smart speakers and TVs, and in-car devices.

Upleveling a talented design org

Upon my arrival at the company, I noticed that the amount of work required of the design org reporting up to me was unsustainable, and the career growth paths for my org were unclear. Fueled by the desire to take care of our talented, smart, and passionate people - who were critical to defining and building our flagship products - I doubled the size of my design org within my first two months. I ensured my org included proper staffing across UX, visual, and product design, content strategy and UX writing, design systems, and accessibility.

I also collaborated with peers to create well-defined career paths for the design org, and promoted multiple team members to more senior and management positions within the course of 6+ months.
