Susan creates systems, builds the capacity of teams, and drives the alignment needed to deliver exceptional product experiences for millions of users.
By day, she works as a Design Manager at BuzzFeed. By night, she creates under the moniker Mintlodica. She loves mechanical keyboards and is on TheKey.Company staff after her keyset, DSA Magic Girl, became a best seller.
In her past, she designed for NASA, spearheaded Trulia's first design system, defined HealthCare.gov's application, and directed designers at Cloudflare.
