Me, nine to five...
I'm Abby - a continuously developing product and design leader specialized in crafting customer-centric B2B experiences and leading outcome-driven design teams.
One of my strengths as a leader is facilitating cross-functional design thinking workshops, bringing together diverse teams to brainstorm and co-create solutions. My broad experience in marketing, analytics, design, and product, combined with my deep technical understanding, enables me to foster effective collaboration.
Fast-paced environments are my playground. Thanks to my agile and adaptable process, I thrive under pressure and use it as fuel to propel my problem-solving skills.
I find immense joy in mentoring and helping designers and product managers develop their skills. Fostering a supportive and growth-driven team is essential to me, and lifting others up to reach their true potential is my favorite part of leadership.
My Leadership Philosophy
My stance on leadership has adapted over my 9+ years in team management, but it has always been rooted in transparency, empowerment, and empathy. I believe in:
Results-Driven Focus
I ensure every team member can articulate what they're working on, why it's important, and how it aligns with business objectives.
Facilitation Over Direction
I excel in workshop facilitation, believing that it's more effective to guide teams in developing their own solutions rather than simply telling them what to do.
Commitment to Growth
I'm dedicated to helping people grow, creating personalized development plans that empower each to reach their full potential.
"I had the pleasure of working with [Abby] as my manager. Her tenacity and determination made her an exemplary supervisor, and it was inspirational to work for her. My colleagues and I came to work knowing we could expect full transparency, respect, and decisive leadership." - Abby Griffith, former team member
Me, after five...
I’m still Abby, still a product enthusiast, but now a wife, mom, traveler, artist, and athlete too. As a passionate explorer and devoted family person, I find joy in embracing life’s adventures and cherishing precious moments with my husband and two boys.
Travel has always held a special place in my heart. I crave the thrill of discovering new places and experiencing diverse cultures. I find inspiration in the colors, patterns, and stories I encounter during my journeys, which often find their way into my creative work.
My family is my anchor and my greatest source of happiness — sharing laughter, creating memories, and supporting each other. I live my life by a motto my dad taught me: “Life is too short to be anything but happy!”
Together, let’s embrace the beauty of this world and create experiences that leave a lasting impression on hearts and souls.
