Workshops

I co-create and collaborate with talented people to ideate and create solutions for the design challenges an organization is facing.

Design Research

I discover the goals and problems that people face when interacting with your business, service, product, or brand.

Design Experiments

I help create and facilitate prototype designs and test them with real people.

An experienced "design thinking nerd".

I started my first real design job in 2013 and while I was at this job I started to learn how to facilitate design workshops. Since then I have been in love with design thinking and what it can do for folks with good intentions, great ideas, and a willingness to work with others to create awesome solutions. During my design journey I have had the opportunity to workshop and design with startups, enterprise companies, small businesses and NGOs.
