Background
- Professional Experience
My past projects include high-level strategic and creative engagements with leaders from organizations ranging from not-for-profits to universities to public associations to multinational corporations.
I am a co-founder and organizer of Design with Dialogue, a Toronto-based monthly gathering of consultants, creatives, technologists and researchers focused on learning and advancing facilitation methods for organizational innovation.
I previously spent 4.5 years at design-thinking pioneer Bruce Mau Design, where I focused on the use of communications design as tool for organizational change and effective engagement, and led creative teams on identity, web, experience and strategy projects.
I have served on the event design and hosting team at leading edge systems-innovation events such as the ALIA Institute and Ashoka Forum.
I have taught or led workshops at Harvard Graduate School of Design, OCAD University, and University of Toronto's Knowledge Media Design Institute and School of Architecture, Landscape and Design.

I am a designer, facilitator and innovation consultant based in Toronto. I collaborate on innovation processes for system-scale organizational and community change.
I am a co-founder of The Moment, a consultancy that helps clients solve really tough problems through collaboration and design.
I previously spent 4.5 years at design-thinking pioneer Bruce Mau Design, where I led creative teams on identity, web, experience and strategy projects for clients ranging from not-for-profits to universities to public associations to multinational corporations.
I co-founded and organize Design with Dialogue, a Toronto-based community of consultants, creatives, technologists and researchers focused on advancing methods for systems-level change.
I hold a M.Sc. in Digital Media from the International School of New Media in Germany where I completed my thesis "Knowledge Visualization" in 2004. From years of work and study around Canada, Europe and Africa I speak English, French and Spanish.

Co-founder and co-organizer of Design with Dialogue (DwD), a group of practitioners that gathers monthly at Toronto's sLAB at the Ontario College of Art and Design.

- Apr 2009 - Apr 2012Member, Board of Directors / Waterlution
Waterlution designs and delivers workshops, events and specialised projects that inspire individuals and groups to develop a shared understanding of their local ‘culture of water’ and the complex system in which it is embedded.
Waterlution's vision is to be an active contributor in influencing the behaviours of individuals, communities, companies, policy-makers, and educators in the way that we all experience, use, manage, and distribute our water.
Waterlution believes that deep, systemic change happens through open, cross-silo dialogue. It is as individuals build relationships, across viewpoints and sectors, and build their knowledge of the complex water issues we currently face in Canada that progressive action occurs.
