Bio
Lauren Uyeshiro
Janet is a product design leader with deep expertise, who is also incredibly unique. At Epic, I have worked with Janet for several years as her product counterpart. Here are a few facets to Janet's work that make her truly unique: * Intersection of experience (design), strategy (product), and evidence (data). Janet's area of expertise is user experience, but she helps teams get to a principled structured approach to which problem we prioritize and which solution we select. Janet has a unique ability to pinpoint the problem that matters most, and to bring it into sharp focus. She coaches designers, product peers, and cross-functional business partners to reach a higher bar re strategic choices and the evidence supporting them. * Janet is radically transparent and a wonderful communicator. She is a leader at the highest levels of the team and moves conversations forward with engineering, business, content, product, and other cross-functional units. She balances her candor and transparency with compassion, kindness, and active listening. * Finally, Epic benefits from Janet's deep expertise in team structures and management techniques. Janet derives joy from her team's growth. She sets up processes and team structures asking designers for their best work and supporting their development. I have never met a design leader like Janet before, and it is an honor to work with her.
