How well is your design team performing?
Most design teams aren't underperforming. They just don't have a clear view of how they're actually operating.
The Design Team Health Check is a structured diagnostic for design leaders, followed by a 90-minute working session with me to unpack what it reveals, and identify what to act on first.
Why teams struggle.
Most design teams don't struggle because of talent.
They struggle because of how they operate inside the organisation—how work flows, how decisions are made, how design is positioned.
These constraints aren't always obvious. They tend to show up as patterns over time: misalignment, limited influence, inconsistent impact.
The diagnostic helps you see those patterns clearly. The session is where we work out what to do about them.
What's included.
1. The diagnostic. A structured self-assessment covering five areas of team performance:
Team culture and morale
Strategic visibility and influence
Capability and skills
Ways of working and systems
Leadership and direction
Takes 10–15 minutes. You complete it before we meet.
2. The 90-minute session. We go through your results together on a shared Miro board, section by section. I'll help you:
Unpack what the diagnostic is actually telling you
Diagnose the root cause behind the patterns you're seeing, not just the symptoms
Identify the one or two issues that are most urgent to address
Leave with a clear, practical way to start addressing it
This isn't a generic readout. It's a working session, shaped around your team.
How it works
Get in touch. Tell me a bit about your team and what's prompting the enquiry.
I'll send you time options. As I'm currently contracting, I hold a limited number of session slots. I'll offer you a few that work.
Book your slot and complete payment. Once you've chosen a time, I'll send a Stripe payment request which you can pay be bank payment or credit card.
Complete the diagnostic. I'll send this straight away, it takes 10–15 minutes, and doing it before we meet means we can go straight into the working session.
We meet. 90 minutes, on a shared Miro board, working through what it reveals.
Investment
NZD $450.00 (ex. GST) for the diagnostic + 90-minute working session.
FAQ
Why isn't this bookable instantly? My calendar is relatively fluid and shifts week to week. Rather than show you slots that might not actually be free, I'll send you real options within 1–2 business days of your enquiry.
What if I need to reschedule? No problem! Just reply to the confirmation email and we'll find another time.
Is this a sales call? No. It's a genuine working session built entirely around your diagnostic results. The 90 minutes is for us to work together to find a path forward.
Do I need to prepare anything else? Just the completed diagnostic. Come as you are otherwise.
