“When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.”

― Donald Miller

Increasing ownership and engagement.

Team disengagement has reached dizzying heights. Studies show that most employees are psychologically unattached to their work and companies.

In my approach, people have accurate and precise ownership over their work and are guided by purpose. This simple difference jumpstarts engagement and productivity.

Experiencing the power of distributed authority.

My focus is to trust people's capabilities. Every team member plays by the same rules. Authority to act is distributed through dynamic roles instead of static titles.

Safety checks are built into the framework to prevent organizational harm. That means that asking for permission no longer has to be the default, and all team members can drive fast toward the company’s purpose.

Story Case

Magnifying Glass

First things first

Upon assuming the role of Director of UX at Modus Create, my initial obstacle was comprehending our human capital.

Since the company needed documented team data beyond resumes and application forms, I conducted an activity to learn more about the team.

However, with 27 individuals to interview individually, time became a limiting factor. Additionally, 1:1 wouldn’t provide insight into how well they could collaborate and which individuals would work best together.

As a problem solver, my focus was determining how well the team members could collaborate.

While comprehending human characteristics can be difficult, understanding how these characteristics can combine to produce different outcomes can be even more complex.

To address this, I created a continuous activity called "Magnifying Glass," which involved enlarging what was already visible and finding ways to combine skills and abilities infinitely.

Live workshop

Leading creativity requires collaboration, a clear vision, an open mind, attention to detail, and a commitment to keeping up with industry trends. Aligning this mindset with teams and understanding their needs was my path to create visually stunning and innovative work.

Detecting abilities

Design Super Clusters

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Make it stand out.

  • Emotions & Behaviors

  • Team Reviews

  • Programmed Retrospection

Learnings

Facing designer’s abilities and pitfalls helped me build a collaborative and trusting culture that motivated my team. The open activities encourage open communication and active listening and foster mutual respect.

In everyday routine, setting clear goals and expectations for each project is essential, providing our team with clarity and transparency. It also allowed me to learn and invest in the team's growth by offering training, mentorship, and professional development opportunities.

The one scope was to embrace creativity and experimentation: Design is an iterative process that requires activity and creativity. I encourage team members to take risks, learn from their mistakes, and be open to new ideas and approaches.

Magnifying Glass brought us awareness and empathy. It was fundamental to set a culture of celebrating successes as a team and using failures as an opportunity to learn and improve. A growth mindset emphasizing learning and improvement can help teams stay motivated and focused on achieving their goals.
