I believe in the power of design to change the status quo. Yes, that’s big!

Start small and subscribe to my weekly thoughts.

Design Leader.

I help organisations strategically position design to drive meaningful change. This includes structuring current products, services and journeys as well as nailing the right operating model to empower modern companies to thrive within their often complex, ever-evolving, and multi-stakeholder operating environments.

I’ve been immersed in design leadership for more than 15 years. I hold a PhD on the topic from Copenhagen Business School. I’ve led design-driven transformation programs with organisations like adidas, Gilead Pharma, Gucci, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Xero.

Author.

I’m the author of Design Leadership Chronicles, a graphic novel portraying the true stories of nine design leaders and how they used design strategically to grow meaningful change in their respective organisations. In the book, I show how to use design to make sense of the status quo through well-crafted journey frameworks, how to seek the right type of change, and how to use design to show your organisation alternative futures.

Speaker.

I speak on both big and small international stages about design leadership and organisational change. I enjoy engaging with audiences, provoking thought, and igniting lively discussions.

Testimonials.

Marzia is a 'get things moving' design leader. She sees an opportunity, need or exciting concept and brings teams together to achieve this with enthusiasm and an infectious sense of urgency.

Marzia coached me at JPMorgan as part of helping us introduce a more customer centred product development approach. She was a great coach - she doesn't do jargon or corporate platitudes, quickly got to the bottom of thorny issues and helped me tackle them.

I had the pleasure of working with Marzia for a year on a transformation project. I have never learnt so much in such a short period of time. If you want to shake up your organisation and get people thinking differently, Marzia is the person to go to.

Marzia is an amazing design leader. She has extensive expertise in service and organisational design and is capable of turning it into commercially viable solutions for business transformation. Always adding value and always bringing the client on the journey.
