Founding cohort — first session July 1, 2026
Synoptro Forum
6 of 8 founding seats remaining
First session July 1, 2026. Founding cohort pricing locks in permanently. Limited spots per group.
Why this exists
There's nobody down the hall to pressure-test your intake system, tell you whether your critique format is fixable, or help you think through the tradeoffs before a shaky process becomes a bigger problem. Most DesignOps communities are mostly Slack-channel noise. The people doing the real work are usually doing it privately, inside their own companies, with very little opportunity to compare notes.
Synoptro Forum is built around the thing most practitioners are missing: a small group of peers who understand the work, show up consistently, and can help think through actual problems while they're still solvable. It's facilitated by someone who has done this work inside Comcast, GSK, Universal Ads, and other complex organizations.
Inside your company, the people around you either don't know DesignOps well enough to pressure-test your decisions, or they're too close to the outcome to give you a clean read. The forum gives you neither of those problems.
This one is a structured small-group format with live sessions on a fixed cadence. The size stays small on purpose. The format stays structured on purpose. Both of those things are load-bearing.
I'm a practitioner, not a coach. I've built DesignOps functions from the ground up inside real organizations, so the feedback stays connected to the work itself: the tradeoffs, the politics, the sequencing, and the decisions that actually make or break adoption.
Format
Small by design, structured enough to be useful, and built around the real questions practitioners are working through right now.
6–8 practitioners per group. Small enough for real trust, big enough for multiple perspectives on your problem.
Biweekly 90-minute meetings, structured around the questions people are actively working through.
Bring drafts, rollouts, and decisions to the group async. Pressure-test before it matters.
Ask the facilitator between sessions. Practitioner perspective, not abstract advice.
One-time discount on the Complete Library bundle. Pair peer support with practical tools.
Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. The point is to be worth staying for, not sticky.

The format in practice
Each group is 6–8 practitioners meeting every two weeks for 90 minutes. Sessions are built around the real problems people are actively working through, with space to share context, think through the tradeoffs, and get useful perspective from the group. I facilitate and bring perspective from doing this work across multiple organizations. The goal is always something actionable by the end of the session, not a longer list of things to think about.

No commitment.

No automated sequences. Just a direct message from me when the timing and fit are right. The forum stays small by design, and this is how I keep the groups thoughtful from the start.
