About Richard Sancho
VP, Product Design at Ex Forbes, Medium, The New Yorker, Kettle
With 20+ years of experience, I've led design work for brands like Forbes, Apple, Nike, The New Yorker, Medium, and more —building products and experiences that reach billions. I partner with organizations looking to strengthen their design leadership, create systems that scale, and make decisions grounded in user research and measurable outcomes.
I focus on the intersection of craft, strategy, and culture. Whether it's building high-performing design teams, creating design systems, or developing AI-powered products, my work centers on one constant: a deep obsession with understanding users and ensuring design drives real business results.
I love meeting designers! I frequently mentor designers and have run company-wide design workshops.
