About

I'm Vincent Feeney, a product design manager at Atlassian, based in Victoria, Australia.

I care about the part of design leadership that is difficult to put in a process diagram: helping talented people do their best work, making sense of complex organisations, and creating the conditions for good ideas to survive.

I've spoken and written about design leadership, business fluency for designers and the move into management. Lately, I've also been experimenting with how AI changes the way design teams make, collaborate and lead.
