About Me
I am a creative and strategic thinker who thrives on collaborative efforts and design thinking. I love the challenge of digging to the root cause of a problem and collaboratively building people-centred solutions. I have the ability to unravel complexity and transform it into accessible, meaningful work.
I have outstanding research, writing and communication skills. I can develop content or develop a strategic program. My areas of interest include: design research, branding, design thinking, creativity, cognitive psychology, global WASH issues, cooking and sports.
