I speak to inspire & awaken the power of creativity.
A Design expert who found a voice that inspires.
With over two decades of global experience in developing new products and services, I spent most of my time delivering insights, mindsets, and strategies to overcome obstacles to innovation. An opportunity to present at a premier Design conference turned into a recurring invite at various speaking platforms. My audiences seem to love it and I enjoyed the adulation! Building on this, I now have a vibrant speaking career in my portfolio.

My promise to event planners is an experience for your audiences that is both meaningful and engaging. Get in touch to book me for your event!
