About Olivia W
Group Experience Design Lead/Manager at Best Buy Canada
I am a product design & UX lead with a blend of in-house & agency backgrounds. My career journey in design has had a few transitions, which exposed me to diverse industry sectors, such as government, education, service, manufacturing, and real estate. Currently, I am exploring the eCommerce/retail space.
Thinking back on my journey, I wish there were mentorship resources to help & guide me - which is why I am here.
Everyone's journey is different. Through our encounters, I hope we will uncover your/my story together. I hope to offer unique perspective through open dialogues - to listen, analyze, expand, define, re-define and reflect on our way of thinking.
Aside from general mentorship topics, if you have particular interests in the following, let's chat~ ‣ In-house vs Agency design ‣ Women in leadership ‣ Introverted leaders ‣ DE&I + design leadership ‣ Work persona transformation ‣ Career path change
