My bread-and butter is Design Thinking, my passion is writing, and my pet-peeve is wet socks on a hike.

I lead with research and empathy in my work, and approach problems holistically. My interest in innovation, pointed visual skill-set in Design and curiosity of the human condition (UX) make me the team anthropologist as well as Design(er/) Strategist

I’m a polyglot — bilingual in English and French, I also speak German and Greek, can-get-by in Spanish and Italian. Languages have helped me make connections around the world and understand and inhabit different cultures & ways of thinking: a crucial design skill. What delights me most about languages is their un-translate-able words like dépaysement, Kummerspeck, παρέα (pareh-a). Greek has eight different words for Love!
