A lot of my work doesn't show up in a Figma file. It shows up in how other people work.
I've delivered workshops and training sessions across the design org, and taken part in external talks and fireside chats for broader audiences. The focus is always the same: helping people move from having access to a new tool or way of working, to actually using it well. I've also completed public speaking training, which has helped me present complex ideas more clearly and run more effective sessions.
New tools only create value when people know how to use them.
Getting people set up with something new is the easy part. The work is making sure the change actually sticks.
Sessions are grounded in real workflows and real tools, not abstract best practice. Something the team can try that afternoon is more useful than something they'll think about later.
The goal isn't to create people who need me. It's to build understanding and confidence that runs without me.
I've taken part in fireside chats with MBA students, sharing how AI is used inside a real design organisation. The sessions weren't theoretical. They focused on day-to-day application: how we prototype with AI, and what it actually looks like to adopt these tools at scale.
I've designed and delivered training sessions on how to use AI effectively in design work. Not the broad "AI will change everything" framing, but practical: how to write prompts that actually work, and where AI genuinely helps versus where it tends to overpromise.
Sessions cover real workflows using real tools, and include a clear section on limitations and responsible use alongside the capabilities.
Training sessions focused on moving designers beyond static prototypes. Covering how to introduce real logic and behaviour into designs using tools like Figma Make, so that prototypes test ideas rather than just illustrate them.
I've also worked with research teams on building prototypes with research in mind from the start, handling real user inputs and incorporating analytics directly into the flow.
I've run onboarding sessions to support the rollout of new tools and workflows across the design org. Sessions have covered everything from documentation platforms and localisation systems to AI tooling.
The format varies depending on what's being introduced, but the approach stays the same: real examples, hands-on time where possible, and space to ask questions. Getting people from zero to confident, quickly.
I've facilitated design sprint sessions to help teams explore problems quickly and get to a testable concept. The format is structured enough to keep momentum going, but adapted to the team and the problem at hand.
The goal is alignment and a useful output, not following a fixed process.
