I design to think.
Making visuals and prototypes and facilitating co-design engagements are vectors for synthesis and discovery.
I trust my blindsight.
As insights reveal themselves through design thinking, I pivot the process through ambiguity to clear results. Finding and reframing the real problem, as opposed to the assumed problem, is important to me.
Systems feeler1
I know architecture — conceptually and technically.
My architectural modeling and programming skills ground my service design and organizational programming work.
I merge EQ with spirit and systems knowledge.
I map existing conditions, like flows of experience, because it helps contextualize change management efforts.
Change agent
Collaboration suits me.
I am a medium-agnostic communicator with roots in design facilitation.
I champion emerging technologies, human-centred research and stakeholder experience.
I am defined by betweenness.
From connecting poetry and neuroscience and investigating subconscious decision trees in high school to focusing on community programming work, engineering and sustainable architecture in undergrad…to my MDES whose course load had me jumping back and forth between MIT and MASSART… I have always existed in two or more schools of thought.
