Two decades of human-centered design for social and environmental good
For many years, I felt called to put my creative efforts toward helping nonprofit and educational organizations design and use creative technologies as a tool for change. It was a career that navigated seismic cultural and technological shifts—from the rise of internet technology to the explosion of machine learning and AI. It was an exciting time that brought the nonprofit sector online.
Using an artist’s mindset, a writer’s investigation, and a designer’s toolkit, I worked at the intersection of technology, organizational development, branding, communication, and design. I led transitions from paper to digital, scaled programs through online delivery, launched creative practices and teams, strengthened data- and AI-supported decision-making, improved countless human and technical systems, and guided adoption of emerging tech. It was a time when there were no predefined rules, and complex human-centered design questions to answer.
Today, I take on some limited, focused partnerships with leaders tackling these ongoing shifts. I’m always up for a conversation about creative challenges that will help improve lives, communities, and the planet.
