WHY

Empower Impact

I empower innovation that improves lives.

It’s about real people pursuing individual quests.

People are empowered by tools, technologies, and experiences that come to life with well-crafted narratives that align with their own stories. They are more engaged. They are happier. They are more loyal. They are empowered to complete tasks, buy things, connect with others, and even transform their lives in amazing ways if we design our solutions thoughtfully and intentionally.

I'm at my best when helping organizations create seamless product and service experiences that resonate viscerally, behaviorally, and reflectively in real people’s journeys.

I focus on opportunities for impact in Health Care, Active Lifestyle, and Travel & Leisure spaces.

HOW

Empower Innovation

I develop value by creating solutions that seek to be useful, usable, satisfying, and completely coherent.
