Hi, I'm Johanna!
I’m currently a UX lead and manager at Amazon, working on reimagining the customer support experience for Amazon device and digial products.
I have over 10 years of experience leading design projects and programs in a broad set of industries (healthcare, employee tools, and food delivery, to name a few!). I also have over three years of experience building and managing teams of designers and researchers.
My working style: collaborative, flexible, user-focused. I love finding elegant solutions to complex problems, and empowering my teams to do the same

I enjoy partnering closely with my cross-functional product and engineering colleagues to ensure we're designing and building products that deliver the best possible experience for our users.
As a manager, I love empowering my team by removing obscacles and distractions and allowing them to focus on doing their best work. I have experience with inteviewing and hiring, team building, prioritizing and managing workloads and assignments, and providing performance and career development feedback.
I have extensive experience in all stages of the product design process, including:
