Working with Shea at Subkit was one of those rare manager moments where you know you’re lucky. Shea brings a clear, principles-first mindset to her design work—always asking the right questions before jumping into pixels. She has a sharp strategic lens, which made her a trusted thought partner not just in design reviews, but in broader product and business conversations.

Patrick Lewis
Head of Design, Subkit

Shea brought sharp design instincts, strategic thinking, and helped make our design process more focused and efficient. Together, we clarified product requirements, streamlined handoffs, and built a workflow that worked seamlessly across teams. Shea also built our design system from scratch, a huge lift with lasting impact. Any team would be lucky to have her thoughtful, strong design voice.
