As a Human-Centered Design Strategist, I act as a facilitator between people, ideas, and methods to foster collaboration and insights.
I use strategic design approaches to map out systems, pin down issues, and uncover opportunities to move beyond designing outputs and, alternatively, towards developing improved systemic interventions.

I use design thinking methods at scale, including human-centered design, mixed-methods research, participatory approaches, collaborative development, prototyping, and others across industries, to inspire individuals and collectives to leverage complex systems in creating meaningful and tangible design solutions.
