Thanks for stopping by

I'm Craig—a designer, manager, and mentor working to form and mature design teams. The excitement of creating something from nothing drives me to this work. Seeing my team flourish is what keeps me going.

I'm currently a Design & Research Manager at Personio, a leading HR-tech platform with over 7,000 customers across Europe. In this role I manage a 6 team members with product design, content design, and research specializations, all working across design system and other product platform teams.

Before Personio, I spent nearly 3 years as Head of Design at Utmost, an HR tech platform shaping the future of the extended workforce. Utmost was acquired by Beeline in 2022.

I've also led design and product as Head of Product Experience for Ediflo at Axonista, a video tech startup. I've also consulted for clients including National Geographic Society, TEGNA, and others.

Outside of these role, I advise startups on hiring and shaping their early design teams, mentor new designers working to break into the industry, and do a bit of freelance writing for kicks. I also have a few fun side projects that have bubbled up these past few years.
