Desirée García is a design leader who drives business outcomes, ships products beloved by users, and invests in the careers of other designers.
Over the last 15+ years, she's had a craft impact across a diverse set of companies and spaces before stepping into leadership. It's given her the ability to gracefully stay close to the work and adapt to the ever-changing demands on today's design leaders.
She’s got a huge soft spot for underdogs and mission-driven organizations, and loves to talk shop. Ask her about building 0-1 design organizations, enabling great design work on remote teams, or how good design can make digital life more humane.
Her superpower is assembling IKEA furniture.
