SNAPSHOT

My Approach

I treated this as a knowledge infrastructure problem.

Instead of organizing documents, I focused on:

  • how knowledge is structured for retrieval

  • how systems scale without duplication

  • how AI can support content organization and governance

The goal: create a usable, trustworthy knowledge system—not just storage.

The Problem

Forma’s internal knowledge ecosystem couldn’t keep up with company growth.

Teams struggled with:

  • scattered and duplicated information

  • lack of a reliable source of truth

  • slow access to critical knowledge

The system wasn’t designed for retrieval or scale—especially in a low-search environment.


What I Led

  • Designed and implemented a centralized internal CMS using Notion

  • Created structured information architecture and taxonomy for fast retrieval

  • Audited and de-duplicated content across teams

  • Built templates and governance systems for scalable content creation

  • Introduced AI-assisted workflows to support structuring and maintenance

  • Partnered cross-functionally to align system with real workflows

The Outcome

  • Faster access to internal knowledge across teams

  • Reduced duplication and content sprawl

  • Increased trust in internal documentation

  • Scalable knowledge system supporting growth and onboarding

Why It Matters

Most internal knowledge systems fail because they prioritize storage over usability. This work created a knowledge system optimized for retrieval and scale—laying the foundation for:

  • faster team execution

  • consistent decision-making

  • AI-assisted knowledge workflows
