DESIGN GUIDANCE, TRAINING & SUPPORT
Summary
Design your future
I’m a creative leader and strategic design partner to organisations open to the possibility that design thinking and creative culture is good for business.
I help with leaders and teams embrace design as a catalyst for growth, alignment , innovation, and connection.
The benefits of design
Design isn’t just how things look—it’s how they work. I help organisations harness the power of design and creativity to accelerate progress, find their voice and align their ambitions.
Everything we do needs to support the business goals, ambitions and strategic vision.
