Hi! I’m Lizzie, your friendly community designer
Blending community, design, and advocacy to drive impact.
I’m a community leader, designer, and facilitator currently based in sunny Spain, originally from the US. With over 10 years of experience working at start-ups, I’ve been creating community strategies, launching ambassador programs, and bringing people together at local events for people-first companies around the world.
What I’m Up To
Right now, I’m the Global Community Lead at ADPList, where I co-create and support a thriving network of over 30,000 mentors in design and tech worldwide.
Through initiatives like our Global Ambassador Program, I’ve helped scale the community from scratch to over 200+ events and meetups in less than a year, fostering connections and shared learning across the globe. It’s all about empowering mentors and mentees, building genuine relationships, and creating spaces for people to grow together—and I’m passionate about every part of it.
What I’m Good At
Community Strategy: Designing and co-facilitating frameworks that align business and community goals.
Advocacy & Ambassador Programs: Building programs that empower passionate users to become brand champions.
Event Design and Execution: Bringing people together—online and offline—with local meetups, workshops, and live events.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Working across teams to ensure community initiatives deliver impact and resonate.
