I bring nearly a decade of experience collaborating with public, private, and nonprofit sectors from environmental non-profits to technology companies. I think in systems and blend skills from place-based and digital experience strategic design to create solutions that integrate people, place, and policy.

I wear many hats from vision through implementation.

I partner with decision-makers and teams to figure out:

  • What to build

  • How to bring it to life

  • Whether it's creating social, environmental, and financial value

Research + Advisory

Every project begins with collective sense-making from high level to eye level. I tailor multi-method research protocols to provide insights that range from how people actually navigate and use their environments to how design, policy, power, and governance shape quality of life.

Research + Advisory

Discover. Every project begins with hands-on research and collective sense-making of human experience and behavior.

Strategic Design + Planning

Research finds its form in strategy. I design programs, policies, services, and experiences that meet people where they are while building toward more sustainable futures.

Strategic Design + Planning

Enact. Insight become solutions through through stakeholder visioning, participatory design, dialogue, and storytelling.

Implementation + Activation

Lasting change requires stewardship. I turn plans into action by collaborating closely with implementation teams, whether that involves internal capacity building or public-facing pilots that test and improve on ideas before scaling.
