About

If you’re looking for someone who just makes things look nice, there’s a long line of people for that. But if you need a Creative Lead or Researcher who builds with the next decade in mind, let’s talk.


I’m a Designer, Futurist and Speaker operating at the intersection of planetary health, strategic foresight, and inclusive futures who can think three steps ahead of the current market.


What distinguishes me from the sea of talented designers and art directors is my future-oriented approach to design. My work focuses on logic, ethics and long-term implications. I’m here to bridge the gap between where we are and where we need to be.


If you’re ready to move past surface-level fixes and start building for the futures, I’m ready to lead the way.

Concept

Before any strategy, we start from within.


What is your company really about?

Who do you want to become?


These questions are harder to answer than they seem, but this process is necessary. This is where change begins. I will ask a lot of them, and they might be uncomfortable at first. But together we will find the answers that matter.


From that foundation, we build strategy. One that is grounded in who you are and pointed clearly at where you want to go.
