Moving on.

Today I begin a new job.

I am now the Director of Digital Product Management at Herman Miller. I'm beyond excited for the role and the opportunities it brings. I feel tremendously privileged to be celebrating this personal accomplishment right now when so many are facing such loss and hardship. And I'm looking forward to working at Herman Miller directly, a storied company full of strong leadership and talented teams.

And today I leave Maharam.

Maharam is essentially where I grew up. I turned from a hot-headed sales coordinator to a slightly-more-patient manager of strategic projects. For me, Maharam molded what it means to show up at a job you are proud of, for a company you believe in. Down to every detail, I've learned how to be a part of a design company, and to continually keep pushing for progress.

For twelve years my Maharam colleagues have seen me grow and accomplish all sorts of feats, personally and professionally. They've thrown my baby showers, and celebrated my promotions, been my sounding board and my shoulder to cry on. They've accepted my worst and championed my best. I will miss them.

Luckily the move to Herman Miller, as the parent company of Maharam, is more of an apartment change in the same building than moving out entirely. In fact, I'll report to the same office! And I'm looking forward to a new challenge, leading a large team in a very progressive and fast moving area of the business. But, as my boss, the president of Maharam, said to me, “It’s hard leaving a place that holds so much of your heart.”
