🙋‍♀️ About Melissa

I’m a design leader who helps organizations move fast without losing meaning. For over 15 years, I’ve guided I’m an executive design leader with over two decades of experience shaping how people connect with technology — from enterprise software and wearables to connected devices and AI-powered platforms.
My focus has always been the same: align human-centered design with business strategy to create clarity at scale — products that are beautifully crafted, operationally sound, and deliver measurable business impact through clear decisions under uncertainty.

🥾 Career Journey

Logitech — VP of Design (2022–2024)

I led Logitech’s global design organization, guiding 150+ designers across seven countries to deliver connected ecosystems that spanned hardware, software, and services. Our teams launched products that redefined collaboration and creativity, from Logitech Sight and MX Master 3S to Rally Bar — earning over a dozen top industry honors including Red Dot, iF, and TIME Best Inventions 2024.

Logitech Core Roles (2016–2022)

Before becoming VP, I scaled design leadership across Core Products, Gaming, B2B, and Emerging Markets, shaping experiences used by millions worldwide. These years were foundational in building Logitech’s Design Language System (DLS) — uniting craft, speed, and consistency across the company’s digital ecosystem.

Earlier Roles

Before Logitech, I shaped user experiences at LG, Pebble, and Autodesk — spanning wearables, mobile ecosystems, and enterprise software. At LG, I led the First-Use Experience for webOS TV, transforming setup into a cinematic journey that set a new standard for consumer onboarding.

Today — Spark

In 2025, I founded Spark Design Strategy to help companies unlock more value from design.
Spark partners with executives, investors, and startups to scale design systems, define decision frameworks, and integrate AI-accelerated workflows that drive measurable ROI and faster paths to market.

🧭 Leadership Philosophy

Design is one of the most powerful levers a company can pull for growth — but only when strategy, systems, and execution work in concert.
My leadership approach centers on:

  • Clarity: turning ambiguity into actionable frameworks.

  • Velocity: enabling teams to move fast without losing quality.

  • Human discernment: using AI to amplify judgment, not replace it.
    I believe great design leaders build organizations that think critically, act decisively, and create products that inspire trust.
