Design Thinking Training & Enablement
I have over 15 years of experience developing and facilitating design thinking workshops and innovation enablement programs for organizations across a variety of industries. I have also taught design, design thinking, and innovation theory at several accredited universities on the graduate level.
I see design thinking as a toolbox with the various methods and frameworks as the tools of my trade. Just as each problem can be unique, I know that the specific tools and the order in which they are used needs to differ from project to project. I apply this bespoke approach when I am developing design thinking training and workshops. I work with my clients to identify learning objectives and customize sessions to meet their needs.
