STRATEGIST / FACILITATOR / SPEAKER
I’m a brand strategist, innovation facilitator, and speaker from Philadelphia. I help people unlock their potential by gaining clarity, harnessing creativity, and taking action. I work with entrepreneurs, business leaders, and organizations to build human-centered businesses for the digital era.
When not working with clients, I write and speak about how we can use mindful communication and the power of stories create positive change. I’m an experienced facilitator, and I give frequent workshops on Design Thinking, Innovation, Branding, and Consensus building.
I’m also the founder & CEO of Being Design Inc.
“Helping people take action on their most ambitious goals.”
