Creating a space where ideas flourish.

I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a range of clients that include mid to senior-level executives at many Fortune 500 companies, globally; as well as, small and mid-sized businesses, locally. I work with public and private sector companies.

Guiding Principles

Inclusion+Action+Space

While most brainstorms focus on group thinking, other factors often have a greater impact. Effective sessions consider post-meeting actions, team dynamics, the physical environment, and the importance of psychological safety to ensure everyone can contribute fully.


Innovation

Innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about change. Whether it’s a transformation or a small adjustment needed, I apply Innovation-as-a-Process and Creative Problem-Solving to guide every engagement because innovation comes in all different sizes.


Outcome Drives Process

My approach is outcome-driven, supported by a clear, highly collaborative process that guides each engagement from start to finish.


Diversity

Diversity unlocks the creativity and collective wisdom of an organization or group, enabling people to bring their full selves and experiences to the table. It leads to more thoughtful solutions—and stronger champions to carry them forward.

Whitehorse, Yukon Territory

Based in the Yukon, with the ability to cultivate spaces where ideas can flourish—anywhere.

With that, I work and live on the traditional territories of the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council and the Kwanlin Dün First Nation, and have deep gratitude for the generations of stewardship that have shaped this land for millennia.

 

LET’S CONNECT

Everyone has ideas for solutions. The real challenge is to align on the problem that, when solved, creates opportunity.
