Speaking

Saying 

what needs

to be said

I say what I believe: moving towards a human-centered practice of innovation, applying design thinking to the world’s wicked problems, a different way of leading and a hero’s journey - my own.

 

My thinking is grounded in experience and I share it in engaging and usable ways.  My aim is to shift people’s perspectives and inspire action.
