Sean’s design direction and stakeholder mgmt. made exploration, execution, and delivery simple.

Alex Shimotake

Senior Product Designer

Before

In with the new.

We brought dozens of teams together to kick off in January 2025 with donated time and no official funding.

We audited, aligned on governance, and built foundations.
