I’m the Manager of Strategic Alliances and Community Initiatives at the School of Visual Arts, where I get to bring fantastic partnerships and exciting new opportunities to our students. I also teach “The Business of Being an Artist,” helping soon-to-be grads in the 3D and VFX department gear up to land their dream jobs. In my past life, I was a creative recruiter and, even before that, a master fabricator! My superpowers included finding wierd ways to use fabric, knowing all the glues, and crafting the cutest, tiniest props for stop motion. If you need a mini cactus or a teensy taco, I’m your person!

Juliet joined Amazon's XCM team as Senior Creative Producer. With 15 years of expertise, Juliet turns ideas and concepts into engaging content in the audio, design, animation and live-action space. Juliet’s background in Fine Art from the University of Cincinnati’s DAPP program and her critically acclaimed work with Brand New School LA and The Wilderness NYC enable her to convene the right team at the right time. This choreography shines through each project like so many California sunsets which she’s been enjoying now since her 2015 expatriation from New York.

Brand Motion Lead at Figma

•

As a design leader, I am a strategic partner to Product, Marketing, CS, & Sales. I regularly strategize with stakeholders on what users need or gaps in the market and then rapidly lead engineering+design teams on high impact projects. I love bringing an innovative vision to life one iteration at a time, especially if the problem space is ambiguous and complex! I bring together product & sales data with user research to derisk what features to build next and to confirm that they are delivering on their promised value. In my 17 years of design I have led all aspects of the design process and managed teams through it - from sketches and wire-frames, interactive prototypes, conducting and synthesizing user research, leading workshops, persona creation, and pixel perfect designs on all devices. Other skill: - growth hacking - design systems - Enterprise - Marketing & SEO - workshop facilitation - design strategy - design mentorship / coaching - UI craft - user research - agency management - generative ai - analytics
