I’m an educator, researcher, and creative practitioner who helps students and communities harness the transformative power of design to create a positive social and environmental impact. As the director of the DesignConnect Initiative, I bring a commitment to ethical partnerships, interdisciplinary collaboration, and learning innovation that benefits Wisconsin residents. Through teaching, my students develop the creative skills needed to address complex challenges in human-centered design, storytelling, and cross-sector collaboration. My past community-engaged projects include developing co-design strategies with public, nonprofit, and government partners, focusing on democratizing design tools and methods of innovation.
