Integrating a Design Practice
Jaki Clark and Casey Cumbow of Lessonly joined us to share their journey of adding a Design Practice into Lessonly’s well-established engineering and product development groups.
While Lessonly had design capability prior to Jaki coming onboard, she brought a more strategic and integrated approach to their teams. As engineering and design leaders, Jaki and Casey talked through techniques, practices, and systems that have helped the organization level up over the past 18 months.
