Hi there, I’m Mia! 👋🏾
I'm currently employed as a Digital Product Design Manager at Accenture, where I also serve as the DesignOps sub-practice lead within our studio team, a role created to engage the team in different crafts and specialities. The main goal of this role is to unify designers on projects by reorganizing process, resources and people.
I believe in blurring the lines between design, product and technical teams in order to learn one another’s languages and build a product as one cohesive team.
I’m a systems thinker. I love looking at the big picture and designing an inclusive system that supports every single person or thing involved.
I’m dyslexic, so one of my superpowers is identifying patterns that others may not see.
I’m a mom and feel a responsibility to build ethical products using technology that could influence the future of all of our little ones
I am a former athlete and the need to constantly prove something to myself and others is still alive and kicking.
I was born and raised in downtown Houston, TX, where I have also chosen to continue to live with my growing family (for now).
Before making the transition from Webflow, I read a few Reddit posts warning designers that some managers will toss out portfolios built in Notion. That was more than enough reason to make the switch, because honestly, I don’t want to work for those people. I want to work with the people that see me for what I am — a designer and a systems thinker.
Fun fact: I love a good spreadsheet.
Sometimes a table is the very best way to show how things are connected. And if you’ve read my Ways of Working, you know I love connecting all of the dots. So I needed a way to demonstrate that I am capable of looking at everything holistically without missing all of the details, and I needed it to be easily digestable. I was already using Notion for everything else (election guides, travel planning, a friends/family database), so it only made sense that I trusted it to handle my portfolio as well.
Before this starts to sound like a Notion ad…
I actually really loved Webflow. We had a great five years together. I just always found myself spending waaaay too much time on the visuals and pixels. The right side of my brain loved it, but Notion helps me show off everything that I can do, including how I organize my thoughts and the moving parts around me. I hope that’s clear in what I’m showcasing here. 🤞🏾
