From Design Thinking to Thoughtful Execution

We've all been in meetings where we talk about 10,000 foot concepts and dream about all the things we could do and be. Then we walk out the door and all those great ideas, those inspired dreams and visions, are never fully realized – if at all.

Something gets lost between the dreaming and the do-ing. The do-ers have a hard time seeing through the cloud of problems. The dreamers can't seem to translate their ideas into action. That's where I come in.

I'm able to dream big and look beyond the current reality, seeing connections, synergies and possibilities most overlook. I also have the understanding of sound process to see potential limitations that inhibit long-term sustainability. Most importantly, I possess a strong intuition for seeing gaps between concept and implementation, leading to achievable, real-world solutions.

Who I am:

I am a strategist – Part designer, part analyst, part builder, part innovator – transcending the gap between vision and implementation, creativity and practicality.

I am a simplifier – Someone who cuts to the core of what is needed and what's important, breaking down a complex tangle of symptoms to the root issue(s). With a clear objective, I build step-by-step – intentionally adding only elements that lead to more intuitive, attractive, efficient, and enjoyable solutions.

I am an optimizer – Seeing the potential for what could be as well as challenges and shortcomings, I constantly strive to create excellence. This allows me to drive teams and projects to new levels of success, establishing a baseline of quality and solid platforms for innovation.

I am a learner – I'm able to quickly digest information and principles, pulling out key, relevant pieces of information. This allows me to quickly grasp context and contribute to a variety of scenarios.
