Introduction - Fractional Design Leader
Hey all, I joined a few weeks ago but just haven't gotten around to introducing myself yet. My name is Phil Schroeder and I've worked as a design consultant on and off over the last decade (https://www.gammuttdesign.com/). Due to recent layoffs, I pivoted and went full-time into consulting and fractional design leadership over the last year. I've worked with companies ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies on projects ranging from MVPs, redesigns, user research, design systems, feature implementations, and more. I excel at partnering with product owners, developers, and executives throughout the development lifecycle to deliver a best-in-class final product and quickly understand and translate business objectives into user-centered designs that also accomplish business objectives. My work has helped clients achieve over $39m in funding at various stages.
