About Chiara
Chiara Barden
AI Enablement Strategist · Founder, Better by Design

I built Better by Design because most AI training talks at people. This one works with them.

Before launching this business, I served as an HR AI Ambassador at a Fortune 500 company — training 500+ professionals, running 15+ workshops, and building AI university partnerships with 30+ institutions. I didn’t learn this in a classroom. I built it in the field, then created the DESIGN™ and DIRECT™ frameworks to make it repeatable for everyone.
