Consulting Engagement
I work with creative teams to perform the design-focused research, align the work with the organizational strategy, and leave behind operations and tooling that make our consulting outcomes durable.
Tangibly, this might look like designing and implementing user research, developing your internal research ops, running strategic workshops with leadership and ICs, creating a development program, and coaching with key contributors.

- research operations

Workshops and Off-Sites
I offer a variety of workshops and L&D programs: ranging from one-off engagements for offsites, to larger development programs for growing teams.
In particular, I leverage game design and play to make workshops more enegaging. This also enables us to tackle difficult but critical topics like risk, team dynamics, hiring/firing, and neurodiversity.
