MEET OUR Speakers

Desirée García is a design leader who drives business outcomes and ships products that users love.

She’s intentionally sought broad experiences across diverse companies and mission-driven organizations, and has developed a unique ability to stay close to the craft and navigate the new demands on modern design leadership.

She’s passionate about building design organizations from the ground up, enabling great work on distributed teams, and using design to make digital life more humane. Desirée loves connecting with fellow designers and is always up for a good conversation about what it's like to break into design, the wide variety of design organizational makeups, and the future of the field.

When she’s not designing, you’ll find her in the garden, on the yoga mat, or enjoying the quirks of the city of Austin.
