As a change facilitator, I support individuals, teams and organizations during all kinds of change and specifically through the process of adopting new technologies*. I am particularly driven to investigate the pain points associated with big (and small) changes — experiences that cannot be worked around but must be grappled with as a community.
As an experience designer, I collaborate with individuals, teams, and organizations to co-design and implement experiences ranging from trainings and workshops to learning communities, community dialogues, and events such as speaker series and conferences. I am motivated to design and deliver experiences that are purposeful, engaging, and inclusive.
As an innovation advocate, I connect with stakeholders across the community that has influence over, will be impacted by, and are designing and implementing an innovative idea, approach, or technology. I have learned that, in order for an innovation to be effectively adopted over the long-term, community advocacy and sustainable funding is essential.
