Creating clarity from complexity
The world becomes a little more complex each and every day. Factors such as improving technology and continued globalization are accelerating change, creating a more competitive business environment. More than ever before, it is essential that businesses deeply understand their context and who they are serving in order to develop new winning solutions that help them rise above the pack.
I am an innovation and design strategist based in Southern Ontario. I help businesses make sense of the complex world in which they operate, cutting through the noise to zero in on what really matters, all while collaborating on bold new solutions to delight those who matter most in their success.
My Approach: Demystifying Innovation
