HELLO, I’m Erin Fenley, an experienced designer crafting elegant products, & growing strong teams.
For over 18 years I've worked as a designer in advertising, environmental sustainability, tech startups, and non-profits. I approach problem-solving and design with humility and curiosity. Camaraderie and collaboration are two things I highly value — my best work happens amidst a team. I strive to bring playfulness and humor to challenges.
I also enjoy the intersection of Product Strategy and business goals, and have worked in cross-functional business teams and leadership roles.
