Transforming education begins with a story. Imagine a classroom where every voice contributes to shaping the educational journey—where students and teachers alike are co-designers of the learning experience. This isn't just a vision; it's a reality I cultivate through human-centered design, leadership development, and the application of generative AI. I do this in a couple of ways.1. At the University of Kentucky, I guide learners to become creative innovators. My courses are not just lessons; they're incubators for design thinking, where students collaborate with our community to craft more human-centric educational experiences. You can learn a bit more about this at http://dlab.uky.edu.2. Outside the university, I offer dynamic speaking engagements and interactive workshops, sharing strategies for integrating human-centered design in various educational landscapes.

I'm just a DM away.I authored "Design Thinking in Schools" (Harvard Education Press) to inspire school leaders to take practical, actionable change. And I've been lending my voice on generative AI to folks from local schools to the U.S. State Department and on the airwaves of National Public Radio affiliates.Beyond my professional pursuits, I'm a biscotti baker, blues enthusiast, and a San Francisco Giants fan. I'm currently reading "Palo Alto" by Malcolm Harris.
