Design Thinking

Leadership on teams of diverse thinkers

Hand Sketched Concept Visualization

Hand drawn sketches with pen, color pencil, and markers are my favorite way to get ideas flowing. Sketching is my most efficient way to ideate products and work collaboratively to gain feedback.

Prototyping and Building

I love prototyping with cardboard as a way of upcycling what I already have instead of using brand new materials. Prototyping is just a continuation of the ideation phase but a great emphasis on problem solving.
