A graduate from the M.A. Design For Sustainability Program at the Savannah College of Art & Design. I have spent the last four years exploring the role of design in creating social change. I work in dynamic, collaborative environments to apply my skills of strategy, facilitation, and storytelling to three primary areas of focus - designing strategies and solutions for complex systems, designing organizational and user behaviour change and designing common visions for multi-stakeholder partnerships. As a social innovation specialist, I use system-level strategies and tools to design community-driven solutions that address complex social challenges These tools draw from the disciplines of socially engaged art, participatory and service design. Echoing Otto Scharmer, design to me is a process of form follows consciousness where successful problem-solving reveals the deep-rooted structures and narratives that produce systems of crises. Access my resume below
