My primary focus is on the scholarly and practice communities related to systemic design, which aligns with my research on systemic leadership in organizations with complex missions. I am actively exploring interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work in sensemaking and problem-solving, particularly in relation to cybernetics, possibility science, serendipity, and transformational design. My interest lies in understanding the role of design and systems within performative futures.I am currently a doctoral researcher at LSBU, with expected completion in 2025. Previously, I completed an eight-year tenure as strategic advisor and board member at the Canadian Race Relations Foundation. I was the social innovation practice lead at MaRS, an internationally recognized innovation centre. I have served as an executive director five times, with a notable achievement being my role as executive director of Findhelp Information Services, where I led the development of the 211 information system in Canada. This initiative was honoured with the Head of the Public Service Award for Excellence in Service Delivery.Throughout my career, I have been involved in numerous initiatives that I would describe as evolutionary, blending action and community to address unpredictability and dynamic interactions. My work spans diverse areas, including upcycling, social theatre, eco-parenting, information access and personal privacy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. I have extensive experience in strategic development and business modelling, including fundraising, and have raised over 100 million CAD.I hold an MDes in Strategic Foresight and Innovation from OCAD University, Canada, and a BA in English and Theatre from the University of Toronto, and studies in Business and Entrepreneurship (University of Toronto).
