In addition to being an active mentor to those new to sensemaking, she has also served the design community as President of the Information Architecture Institute, co-chair of the Information Architecture Summit, and Executive Producer of the I.D.E.A Conference. From 2016-2020, Covert served as Etsy's senior staff information architect as they grew to become a multi-billion dollar eCommerce business.
Covert is a founding faculty member of the School of Visual Arts’ Products of Design graduate program.

Diagrams Help." She currently spends her time making things that help you make the unclear clear, many of which she makes available for free on her website, abbycovert.com, or at accessible price points in her popular Etsy shop, AbbytheIA.
