Bio
Casey Hudetz
Megan is the rare design leader that can not only see how all of the details fit together, but can also take steps to effect change at the strategic level. I was always in awe of Megan's ability to hold so much in her head and make clear recommendations and push through changes that always benefited the product, DocuSign and, most importantly, our users. She is a natural leader and anyone would be lucky to learn from, work with and/or report to Megan. Truly outstanding!

Megan shines at being able to convince just about anybody to put the customer’s voice above their own, and backs this approach with data and her broad experience. I've had the privilege of working with Megan for the last few years on a number of projects, and have found her to be a great though partner for the business and a champion of the value that UX can bring to an organization. As a Design Lead, I’ve witnessed Megan achieve some impressive results, including: * Leading research teams to co-create an ideal state customer journey map informed by 1,500+ customers via interviews, surveys, user tests, observations; she used this feedback to develop
