I am a design strategist,
committed to increasing opportunities and enhancing communities. A passionate advocate of asset-based design, I facilitate processes that lead to growth, creative approaches, and sustainability.
MY WORK
FACILITATION
Mindful of a projects goal and utilizing active listening, I strive to make gathering insights a meaningful and inclusive experience that produces tangible and useful information.
Project Example:
Design Thinking Workshop Facilitation for Reve Academy
STRATEGY
Utilizing an asset - based approach, I work with organizations to develop strategies that build upon assets that already exist, and lead to rich and valued user experiences.
Project Example:
Event Strategy: Eat on the Ave (2017), Get to Werk Fashion Show (article correction: *north Minneapolis is one of the most culturally rich neighborhoods), Abamath Community Partnering Timeline
Digital Strategy: BLKCTY
RESEARCH
To produce relevant key insights I conduct research that is framed by questions in which I strive to learn what matters, what exists, and how experiences can be improved.
Project Example:
Insight & Findings Report: Mango Connects
