The strategy
At Tesla, everything moves at lightning speed so, being strategic about managing my personal output was imperative. In my role with the Workplace Design team, I adopted a strategic approach focused on creating impactful and efficient design solutions that aimed at maintaining a positive relationship with all the stakeholders.
By prioritizing the human experience in every aspect of my journey through the halls of the Fremont Factory or the Deer Creek HQ, the most important leverage was understanding and implementing human centered design solutions. I ensured wayfinding systems were intuitive and accessible, crafted through extensive research and iterative testing. Collaborating closely with various teams, I introduced brainstorming sessions and design sprints with my peers, fostering a culture of innovative thinking that generated diverse and effective ideas rapidly, while growing as a team.
To seamlessly integrate design elements into Tesla’s environments, I worked across departments to align our initiatives with the company’s broader goals, whether for major events like AI Day or daily operational improvements in factories. Emphasizing agility in execution, I adapted to changing requirements, tight timelines, and the ever changing Tesla world, using a flexible project management approach to deliver high-quality results efficiently. This strategic framework allowed us to create functional solutions that significantly enhanced the workplace experience at Tesla.

THE CHALLENGES
Navigating the various organizations within the company presented challenges in aligning design initiatives with diverse departmental goals. The ever-growing demands from stakeholders required constant adaptation and prioritization to meet tight deadlines and high expectations. Additionally, balancing innovation with functional efficiency often required creative problem-solving and agile project management to deliver impactful results.

THE TAKEAWAY
My time at Tesla reinforced the importance of leadership, innovation, and adaptability in design. By fostering a collaborative environment and focusing on user-centered solutions, I was able to significantly enhance the workplace experience and boost employee morale. These efforts left a lasting impact on the organization, showcasing the value of creative and functional design solutions. Some people focus on small details like kerning while others focused on a cohesive roll out, while forklifts hauled door panels nearby, taught me to be quick, agile, and creative in my project management.
