Hi. I'm Therese Sharp.
Design leader. Systems thinker. Impact driver.
I build high-performing design teams, scale design systems, and deliver user-centred solutions that work, for businesses and the people they serve.
Case Studies
Design doesn’t happen in a vacuum. These case studies spotlight how I’ve led cross-functional efforts to build better products, stronger systems, and smarter ways of working.
My design principles
Clarity over cleverness
Good design communicates. Great design connects. I prioritise clear thinking and clean execution for myself and my teams. Every time.
Think big, polish the details
Vision matters. But so does the microcopy. I zoom in and out to keep work purposeful and precise.
Design is a team sport
The best work happens when everyone’s invested. I build trust, invite ideas, and leave ego at the door.
Outcomes over output
I measure success by the impact on users and business — not just what gets shipped.
Consistency gets momentum
Systems aren’t constraints, they’re catalysts. I use design systems to free up thinking,not shut it down.
Build the scaffolding
Great teams don’t happen by accident. I create the conditions for creativity to thrive and scale.
