Hello, my name is Fred Truman and I’m a Product Design leader working in New York.
I’m a design-centered team builder, currently working as Head of Product Design at MongoDB, Inc. where I lead a global organization of 40+ product designers and managers, working together to scale the modern industry-leading developer data platform. Previously at MongoDB, I led our effort to build the UX Research and Design Systems functions. I have 18+ years of design industry experience and have focused the past 6 years on building, inspiring, and developing a high-growth design team within the technology industry.
In addition to being a graphic designer in a prior life and dabbling in creative technology arts at ITP, I’m privileged to have designed products at early-stage startups like SumAll as well as large technology companies like Microsoft. Though a Mainer at heart, I now live in Montclair. Luckily, you can find me without coming to Jersey on LinkedIn, Twitter, GitHub, and Dribbble.
Thanks for reading!
