Audrey is a Partner at DesignMap. She loves the intersection of design and the enterprise—sorting through complex systems and ecosystems to reach a true understanding of the people under them. And that helping those people raises all the boats: making clients, their employers, and their customers allmore successful. She’s had the great good fortune to provide strategic, design, and research support and services over the years to clients like Salesforce, Docker, Electrify America, RSA, A3Ventures, NetApp, Aetna, and eBay, among many others over her 25 years in high tech. Unless you count that computer program Audrey wrote on a TRS-80 when she was 5, she started her tech career at Netscape, where she had the extraordinary good luck to meet two of the most important mentors in her life. Having studied mathematics and theatre in college, she fell in love when Hugh Dubberly showed her the right brain/left brain beauty of design. (Fell in love with design, not Hugh. Although Hugh is fantastic.) Marty Cagan taught her how to connect her skills with business as well as people, and that it’s possible to be both radically honest and radically kind. Since then, Audrey has gone on to work both inside companies running design teams, as well as as a consultant at DesignMap and Dubberly Design Office, working with extraordinary clients and colleagues to do great work that has meaningful impact on peoples’ jobs and lives. Audrey is mom to three amazing daughters, Clementine, Calliope, and Autumn, and soon-to-be-married to her high school sweetheart and very patient editor.
