About me
I am a design leader and strategist who partners with leadership teams at design agencies and creative organizations. I help businesses evolve and teams to flourish. And their clients to take big leaps for large scale change.
You can bring me in for a project, interim role, or permanent position.
My clients see tangible benefits:
- We develop new value propositions and workflows powered by custom AI agents
- AI model training becomes a strategic design tool
- Alternative insights and futures research lead to better-informed decision making
- They attract and retain the right talent that actively improves quality, culture and operations
- We shape relevant value propositions to enter key markets: Singapore, Japan, Northern Europe, and the US
We get there by:
- Evolving creative teams into strategic, commercially strong and contemporary design organisations
- Refocusing their work on values and outcomes as deliverables, together with the toolchains and models that make it possible
- Bringing foresight into modelling and strategic design processes
- Identifying top talent in unexpected places
- Working with my extended global network to make informed decissions based on earned insight
