My mission is to promote design + business literacy. My goal is make these key elements of the innovation process accessible, understandable, practical, and relevant to organizations that seek to grow their offerings and evolve their operations and culture.

Throughout my career I have continually sought new contexts in which to guide such change efforts. As a design-trained business leader and experienced consultant, I have skillfully managed interdisciplinary teams and have led both private and social sector organizations in product and service innovation, business transformation, and talent development initiatives.

My consulting approach is highly collaborative and focused on three key objectives: (a) helping the organization leverage what it already knows and know how to do well, (b) enabling the organization to adopt innovation best practices by practicing innovation itself, and (c) guiding the organization to do it continuously. Taking this approach promotes engagements that are efficient and effective.
