User Experience Talent Development at Large Scale
“Our partnership and impact have never been stronger.”
- Senior Leadership for UX at The Home Depot on working relationship with my team (2023)
I’m a designer and educator with a unique background and I practice at the intersection of User Experience Design, Service Design, and Instructional Design. I’m a former professor of art and photography and geek for user-centered design with a passion for learning and “people ops.” This has allowed me to spend the past several years developing growth and development experiences for UX professionals and other technologists in a corporate setting. Now, I’m looking for the opportunity to grow and spread my own wings in a leadership role.
Working with Me
What my partners and stakeholders have to say.
“Margaret has a commitment to keeping OrangeMethod training current and relevant by pushing the envelope and finding ways to equip our UX and Product teams with the skills they need to deliver their A-game and drive better experiences for better performance and outcomes for associates, customers, and shareholders.”
- Manager, Enterprise User Experience, The Home Depot
“Margaret’s classes have been a critical resource for equipping the Quote Center UX team with the know-how and tools to develop and grow their skillset. This has greatly helped the Quote Center UX team’s confidence to champion a user centered lens (vs. just a financial one) for improved experiences and outcomes.”

I had the privilege of working with Margaret as an instructor and instructional designer. Not only is she extremely talented at both, but she is always striving to make things better - whether that be for our students, our partners, or our instructional team. Margaret thinks creatively, yet is rooted in the importance of evidence. Though she is not on the leadership team, she often displays her leadership skills in the way she approached challenges the team encountered. She constantly challenges those around her to improve as well. Margaret truly cares about her students and has such an impact on them that they often follow back up with her to share the successes that she empowered them to achieve. I would highly recommend Margaret in any UX education, leadership, or strategic role.
