A hybrid designer and creative strategist who has been called a "voice of truth" and "the great synthesizer" in rooms with clients and senior leaders. Armed with a passion for working on complex problems with social impact, I help companies innovate by applying user-centered design practices into unexpected spaces and coach clients through design methodologies. I approach problems through a social science lens and cross-cultural perspective. My design process is grounded in user-centered design, co-creation, systems thinking, and storytelling. At its best, design is never the destination, but rather the vehicle to get there. It is a tool to amplify others’ voices, co-create a new world, and enable social change. The systems and institutions that we have today were purposely designed to have us arrive at the inequities of our society; but there is good news in this—we have designed our way into this mess, and we are perfectly capable of designing ourselves out of it. As designers, it is our role to consider not just the intended outcomes, but also the consequences. It is our responsibility to question the status quo and imagine paradigm shifts; and to transform the imagined into tangible, conspicuous change. In my work, I am guided by an understanding of user psychology—whether it's designing a new digital experience for customers of a Fortune 500 company, or launching a campaign that promotes equity for underserved communities.
