Product Designer & Educator
About me
↗ Resume
My name is Elizabeth! I'm currently the first design program manager at Ramp where I enable designers to use AI in their workflows and build culture across the team.
I also run an alternative design school called design is a party where I teach designers how to prototype with AI and improve their visual design skills.
Outside of design, I love talking about Alexander McQueen, judging people's reading lists, and playing classical saxophone.
