Case Studies
I help organizations launch new initiatives with research, strategy, and implementation. I take a human centered design approach to define the problem and develop an appropriate solution. I believe in being both strategic and tactical when cultivating new ideas, programs, and products.
Check out a sample of my work below conducting research to understand a need, facilitating the design process, and developing new programs & products.
