About

I build, nurture, and scale transformational design teams to powerfully solve meaningful problems for people and planet. Operating fluidly between strategic and tactical levels, I’m known for building a culture of design and human-centricity, rallying teams around a clear and tangible vision, and creating the conditions for team success. Through deep empathy, empowering leadership, engaging facilitation, and compelling storytelling, I infuse design thinking across organizations as a shared approach to problem-solving. I have a track record of developing and nurturing people, building and growing high-voltage teams, and creating design-driven organizations.
