Let’s work together.
I help you confidently create more resonant and responsible products and services.
I’m a multidisciplinary strategist, designer, and researcher who brings a keen sense of communications and business knowledge to my work, supported by my background in holistic experience design, integrated communications, and economics. I can help you and your team understand how design strategy and research will enable you to work more confidently as you make critical decisions and investments that will shape your future – or even the world’s.
I’ve spent ten years working with companies and organizations across various industries and sizes on projects ranging from foundational research to end-to-end product design. My experience spans emerging technology, responsible innovation, AI, AR/VR/MR, web3, cultural strategy, youth & Gen Z, SaaS, healthcare, education, climate, entertainment, equity, fintech, retail, marketing, experiential design, and events. I’m open to opportunities across most industries and areas of focus and can bring new insight to your work shaped by the wide rang of projects I’ve worked on.
I’m trained in responsible technology development and ethical research, so I can help you identify and navigate risks and opportunities in your processes and products. As a futures thinker, I actively think about emergent signals and trends and can open the aperture for your team to understand how to plan and build for long-term success.
