PASSIONS

Areas I'm passionate about

As creative leaders with a shared commitment to quality, collaboration, and creativity, we're proud to pursue out most meaningful work and deliver the best every time.

I have seen first-hand the power of human-centered design to promote greater diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. By leveraging an empathetic mindset, incorporating ethnographic research methods, and utilizing design methods, I've helped organizations design systems, processes, procedures, policies, and services that foster greater inclusion and accessibility for both employees and customers.

Offerings

Strategic Meeting Design + Facilitation + Workshops

From virtual sessions to in-person meetings, I design and facilitate meetings, off-sites, and design sprints for teams and boards. I help you frame complex questions, define goals, identify solutions, build alignment, and explore solutions.
