Desmond Garden
Senior Director of Product Design
I'm a Jane Austen fan, a cookbook lover, a community organizer, and a product leader. As a Senior Director of Product Design, I've built design practices from scratch, guided UX teams at scale, and helped some of the largest organizations in the world figure out what they're actually building — and why it matters.
