Creating new experiences, products and services for companies all over the world. My work revolves around understanding consumers through the context of their lives as people. Building frameworks for how companies can create product and service experiences that resonate with those people. Creating and communicating the story of these ideas to align company with consumer is a tremendous challenge which requires rigor, humor, conviction and great teammates. And occasionally, the answer comes from a bolt of lightning.
