Design Leadership That Connects, Inspires, and Scales
Hi, I'm Genevieve! I am a design program leader who helps teams and brands connect with people in ways that drive real impact. I use design, operational clarity, and trust to transform vision into scalable results.
Growth, Breadth, and Rare Fluency
For 15+ years, I've connected people, businesses, brands, and products in meaningful ways—driving large-scale, high-impact programs and creative solutions for both internal and external audiences. My rare fluency spans business tools, enterprise, ads, SMB and consumer products, central monetization, horizontal/vertical design ops, and brand.
Scaling Impact at Meta
At Meta, I helped grow design operations from 20 to 300+ roles (2018–2025), expanding cross-FoA value across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and more.
I built trusted partnerships with leaders in design, marketing, talent, ops, research, content, legal, comms, policy, and events.
Storytelling Meets Systems
Storytelling
My non-traditional path in PR, content marketing, and brand strategy allows me to humanize what often gets lost.
Operational Systems
I blend storytelling and operational systems to bring heart and structure to every challenge, empowering organizations to scale intentionally.
Human-Centered, End-to-End Design
I'm deeply committed to weaving design excellence into every facet of the process. From ideation to execution, I foster thriving, collaborative organizations—solving real problems for real people, with design that delights and delivers.

My Philosophy & Approach
