Hi, I’m Mandi, VP of Product & Design at Verblio.

My focus is building products people love as a design-infused Senior Product Manager. I also research, design, hang with senior leadership, and empower product/design/dev teams.

Helping people succeed is a quirky obsession of mine. I boil with curiosity and bias to improve everything I touch. I’m most energized when collaborating with talented teams of creative thinkers and problem solvers and I always have a pen in my hand. Design thinking is my love language. Let’s riff together.

Leader of product & tech development

I’m an expert at finding data-driven, user-centric solutions that drive engagement, operational efficiency, and revenue-generation. I strategize a vision and roadmap like a mastermind and project manage like a ninja. I’ll mind-meld the tech and business teams while spotting edge cases and driving outcomes. My product decisions are grounded in value, viability, usability & feasibility. 

General management pro

Having been a senior leadership team member, I’m comfortable influencing the company vision, strategy & culture. With a bias toward action and ownership, I lead by example as much as through shared responsibility. I’ve built geographically-dispersed teams (5 PMs & designers working with 8 devs) with a focus on mentorship & empowerment through servant leadership. 

Product designer and UX researcher

I passionately build voice-of-the-customer fluency across teams—evangelizing the insights from interviews and analytics to inspire company-wide innovation. I champion efficiency & pattern-recognition through design consistency. I scoff at Lorem Ipsum to drive compelling UX copy from the start.

Director of creative and brand

I’m addicted to beautiful design and know how to get it. Equally capable of directing or contributing, I make the complex simple across the customer journey with brand-building solutions. Typography nerd. Pro at nurturing a culture of feedback to support professional growth and creative autonomy along with stronger, simpler solutions.

Tools of the trade and savvy

And yes. I’m comfy with so many tools... Most importantly, I’m great at learning new tools. Here are a few of my faves:

Figma, FullStory, Pendo, Metabase, ProductBoard, Asana, Pivotal Tracker, Jira, Slab, Wordpress, Adobe Suite, Miro, Loom, Otter, Google Analytics + Workspace, Retrotool

I’m also a passionate home chef, hiker, ukulele player, scuba diver, yogi, concert-goer… 🤸‍♀️

… film-lover, D&D warrior, gamer, organizer of events that bring people together and befriender of other people’s pets. Serious nurturer of whimsy, quirk and curiosity. Let’s nerd out.
