Creative Design Leader

Hi 👋 I’m Bonnie, I’m currently leading design teams and innovative products at AWS.

I believe in the transformative power of design to inspire and drive meaningful change. Nothing excites me more than seeing teams and individuals break through barriers to achieve extraordinary results.

Throughout my career as an architect, adjunct Professor, UX Leader, entrepreneur, and mentor I've discovered that true innovation happens at the intersection of design, engineering, product development, science, and customer-focused research. This convergence is what I call the "Design Mindset" - a powerful approach that drives exceptional outcomes.

🔑 Key Philosophy:

• Foster curiosity and continuous learning

• Build shared understanding of customer challenges

• Transform conversations into actionable solutions

• Break down silos between disciplines

• Promote authentic collaboration

My mission is to make design thinking accessible to everyone, creating environments where innovation thrives and teams excel. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to design thinking, I'm passionate about helping others discover their creative potential.

Design, for me, is about transforming mindsets, innovating approaches to work, and redefining our interactions with each other. I am dedicated to demystifying design thinking, promoting genuineness, and ensuring that everyone I collaborate with experiences the joy of embracing a “Design Mindset”.
