THE MISSION
Infrastructure is complicated, but managing it shouldn’t be. We design so that people do their jobs easier, get in and out of our software quicker, and focus on bigger and better things.
TEAM VALUES
The best way to create strong collaborative cultures is to work with principles. Here’s a little about us.
We agree to show up as our authentic selves. Recognition of our global and diverse workforce allows for a safe environment that is open to different points of view, identities, and abilities, which makes us all better together.
We reject siloed work in favor of co-creation by maximizing our time with our cross-functional partners as a way to connect the dots across teams and products.
We put our relationships with our customers first by metaphorically sitting with them. We take the longest view of our relationships by focusing on customer outcomes versus team outputs. We do this through a continuous feedback loop.
We inspire each other to lead through empathetic openness in all our interactions. We say less and ask more by starting with questions and listening to others. Through this cycle of empathy and listening, we foster a loop of honest and direct feedback.
We exercise a growth mindset by taking smart risks and failing fast. We use the pattern of discover, define, ideate, and learn as a way to better ourselves and the solutions we co-create.
We trust each other by giving autonomy to our teammates. With a less is more approach, we harness the energy of solution-seeking with product delivery.
OUR DESIGN TRANSFORMATION
You may ask, what exactly does it look like to participate in a once in a blue moon design transformation of a tech giant?
With a team of 11, we built an open-source design system ground-up that is now adopted across our 100+ products.
With over 100+ products, we started to create end-to-end stories to define a cohesive user experience across product boundaries.
We continued to grow our team. Executing means having the right staff design leadership and a talented team. We continued to aggressively hire to build out the team.
Welcome in talented and collaborative designers who will define user-centric vision of our products.
It can be hard to reach enterprise customers for user research, so we built a base of 1000+ users that we speak to every week.
We continue to grow awareness on the role of design and look for better ways to collaborate. We also flew in our global design team!
Our Wavefront design team won VMware’s first design award as they continued to push the bounds of enterprise design.
We chose our design team principles to be Actionable, Memorable and Reflect the company’s culture and brand.

We now have a dedicated Developer Experience team focused on helping our engineers, partners and customers to build great experiences.
