To me, meaningful innovation starts with people and the systems around them.

I draw on my multi‑threaded career across spatial design, workplace strategy, financial services, and Enterprise SaaS to help organizations see the whole service ecosystem, not just a single touchpoint. I’m often brought in when the challenge spans teams, channels, and time horizons—when there isn’t a neat brief yet, but there is a need to align people around what the experience should become.

Drawing on a background in architecture and experiential design, I’m comfortable moving between executive conversations and on‑the‑ground research, turning complexity into clear narratives, decision frameworks, and service blueprints that teams can act on. I use participatory methods and data‑informed insight to align stakeholders, de‑risk big bets, and create the conditions for good work to happen.

At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: when you design with people, not just for them, you create services and experiences that are resilient, joyful, and built for the future.

Here's my story so far.

Some of the amazing organizations I've worked with:

Panama Canal Authority
Canadian Tire Corporation
TIFF - Toronto International Film Festival
Cineplex Entertainment
Ericsson
BMO - Bank of Montreal
CIBC - Candian Imperial Bank of Commerce
Singapore Zoo
Cadillac Fairview
LoyaltyOne / AIRMILES
TCHC - Toronto Community Housing Corporation
Atlassian
AS ROMA
CJ Group
CBC - Canadian Broadcast Corporation
Burt's Bees

Together, we've amplified the impact of research & trends practices

I connect horizon scanning and signals work to concrete product and service decisions, so insights land with teams as momentum—not shelf-ware. Framing what matters, for whom, and by when makes research a lever for prioritization rather than a parallel track.

That shift helps organizations invest in the right experiments, communicate evidence with clarity, and keep a shared view of how the landscape is changing.

Together, we've deepened our understanding of the customer experience, and the behaviours that drive it

Meaningful behaviour insight comes from triangulating what people say, what they do, and the constraints around both. I blend qualitative inquiry with operational and behavioural data so patterns hold up in the real world, not only in the research room.

Those narratives give teams a grounded, shared picture of motivation and friction—so design and business choices line up with how customers actually experience a service over time.

Together, we've optimized the business story we've designing, for maximum impact.

Executives rarely need more raw data—they need a line of sight from customer reality to financial and operational trade-offs. I shape concise narratives that tie evidence, risk, and opportunity to the decisions leadership actually controls.

The goal is a story that travels: aligned with strategy, legible in a deck, and strong enough to unlock investment and follow-through across functions.

Together, we've aligned collaborators towards a clear and common objective.

Complex programs stall when each discipline optimizes locally. I use workshops, journey framing, and visible artifacts to build a shared “north star” that marketing, operations, design, and technology can all interpret without losing coherence.

When the objective is legible and owned collectively, handoffs hurt less, governance gets simpler, and the work stays pointed at outcomes customers can feel.
