Design and product research leader, brand strategist, taco eater, and aspiring protégé of Hubertus Bigend. I approach problems with design thinking methods and brand and cultural strategy lenses to create human-centered experiences that are meaningful to people and differentiated for products, brands, and organizations. Past projects include a diverse range of work including redesigning the retail and service experience of a major bank in Latin America, developing digital service tools for the US government designed to help lower and middle-class Americans retire, and innovating the digital product experience at the top news organization in the world. Now, I'm exploring the world of business products and organizational culture and change in Hollywood.Specific strengths and interests:+ Value proposition and vision strategy+ Product and UX strategy + Brand experience and design+ Working on stuff people need+ Environments design+ Visual culture and landscaping+ Cross-cultural research and design+ Live prototyping+ Shaping killer researchers+ Research ethics + Playing dress up
