about

I'm a design leader based in beautiful, south-central Pennsylvania.

I'm Michael Ellis, a multi-discipline design manager with a technical background.

I help companies define and execute the vision and strategy for the design team and the design work.

Together, we envision and define what innovation design means for the enterprise. I then define the structures, processes, tools and work environment to support the delivery of day-to-day design work.

I manage and build the design team so that everyone stays motivated and has clear growth paths.

To be effective, we align and establish the design team with other business functions and stakeholders.
