design strategy & story

Before you have a strategy, you need to understand the root causes behind your problem.   By engaging with stakeholders, conducting design ethnography, and building empathy with your audiences, we’ll identify leverage points that can create change in multiples.  Through iteration and implementation we’ll set up tools for measuring impact and create clear communications for you to do your best work.

With the expertise as a design professor, leadership in climate strategy, facilitation in transitions, I offer a unique perspective in organizing complex issues.

Weaving together a variety of frameworks to create a custom toolkit for clients, I draw from:

• Design Thinking

• Systems Thinking

• Donella Meadows Leverage Points

• Double Diamond (now Triple Diamond)

• Design for Behavior Change

• Transition Design

• Regenerative Design

• Design Ethnography

• User Experience/ User Interaction

• Visual Design

consulting, workshops & keynotes

From one hour to a full-day workshop, short- or long-term consulting contracts, I work with groups to tailor my expertise to your challenges, working collaboratively to help you implement tools and strategies. 

Your systems are complex, I can help:

• engage stakeholders

• identify root causes & core values

• find the leverage points for impact
