My name is Sarah Wilkins and I’m the Founder of TA-DA, a staffing consultancy that builds dynamic product design teams with purpose. I have been working in the creative space on both the agency as well as client-side for 20+ years specifically in UX design. Two notable career highlights include: the launch of a CreativeGroup Division for Robert Half in San Diego, CA, which grew to a million dollar operation within a year of opening.
More recently, IBM’s in-house design agency, IBMiX, brought me in as their Principal Talent Acquisition partner to recruit and manage top-level creatives for designated positions in their 8 studio locations. I was the trusted business partner for hiring managers throughout the recruiting processes, led portfolio reviews and assessments, and applied a design-thinking approach to staffing resulting in an enriched candidate and stakeholder experience.
