Where strong systems

meet human-centered leadership

 

Our story

Studio W Labs

At Studio W Labs, we know that strong systems and empowered people are the foundation of high-performing teams. I bring a unique mix of experience in education, technology, and leadership to help teams reduce friction, build psychological safety, and focus on what really matters. My work is guided by one core principle: put information in the way—where people need it most, so they can focus their time and energy on solving meaningful problems.

My Story

I started my career as a teacher, spending 10 years specializing in tech integration. In the classroom, I saw firsthand how much energy people waste searching for information or navigating broken systems. It wasn’t just a loss of time—it drained mental resources and created unnecessary frustration. I learned a critical truth: when information is hard to find, it increases cognitive overload and takes people off task.

This lesson stayed with me as I transitioned into tech. Whether I was working as a product owner, engineer, or security specialist, I carried the same principle:

Put information in the way.

I observed how teams struggled with repetitive tasks, inefficient workflows, and unclear systems that forced them to switch contexts over and over. Instead of imposing processes for the sake of change, I worked alongside teams to design systems that reduce friction, increase clarity, and empower them to focus on what matters most—solving bigger problems.

Over the years, I’ve led teams to achieve outcomes like:

  • 7x improvement in delivery velocity by prioritizing team success and psychological safety.
  • $165K in annual cost savings through workflow automation that freed up time and mental energy.
  • 99.9% uptime for high-stakes systems supporting millions of users.

Now, as the founder of Studio W Labs, I combine my experience in education, engineering, and leadership to help tech leaders like you build strong systems that put people first. Because I believe leadership isn’t just about processes—it’s about creating environments where people feel supported, focused, and capable of doing their best work.
