About Author

My journey in UX design started in 2002.

Over the years I developed a storytelling approach that I’ve used when presenting design to:

• The founder and former CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos ~30 times
• Dozens of other execs and senior leaders at Amazon and 22 other companies
• PMs and engineers hanging out at my desk 🙂

I’ve told 1,000s of stories in my career—this approach works in any situation where I find myself showing design to stakeholders.

I’m creating this course because I know the techniques work. And I want to share them with the design community.
