I’m a

Leader

interested in creativity and our human experience


MISSION

I unlock the potential of people and processes, driving engagement, connection, and transformative change by creating environments where creativity, innovation, and learning can thrive. I help transform organisations to be experience-centric and focused on humans.

Passionate about inspiring hearts and minds, I use creativity and human-centred design to discover new ways of doing business in a rapidly changing world.


SPECIALITIES

  • Integrating design thinking with strategic planning, I combine design aesthetics with strategic objectives to drive sustainable growth and competitive advantage. I create purposeful tools that bridge the gap between creativity and business goals, leveraging a deep understanding of organisational needs and innovative design solutions. By analysing market trends, user insights, and forecasts, I develop design strategies that enhance business performance and ensure long-term success. My work transforms complex challenges into actionable strategies, positioning organisations for lasting achievement and a competitive edge.

  • As a leader, I inspire and motivate teams to embrace change, drive innovation, and achieve remarkable outcomes. I lead with empathy, courage, and vulnerability, fostering a culture of trust and open communication. My approach empowers individuals to take risks, harness their creativity, and reach their full potential while staying focused on our shared vision and goals.

  • I embody Creative Intelligence, a fundamental shift in how I engage with the world, driven by curiosity, courage, and confidence to explore the unknown and try new things. I understand, interpret, and act with imagination, always looking beyond what I know.

    In the workplace, I provide thought leadership in creative thinking, the creative process, and amplifying design with Creative Intelligence. I develop the right mindset and uplift the skills of individuals, groups, and influencers. By helping them apply creativity to business and customer goals, I foster out-of-the-box thinking, capability growth, and long-term behavioural change. I use Creative Intelligence as a tool to build adaptability and drive success in times of great change.

  • I focus on crafting designs that integrate Employee Experience (EX) and Customer Experience (CX), embedding experience into the DNA of the organisation. My approach drives both customer and business outcomes, creating cohesive and impactful solutions that align with strategic goals and foster lasting connections.

  • I create visuals and illustrations to communicate complex information with clarity. By blending aesthetics with strategic communication, I craft engaging visuals that captivate audiences and align with business goals. Through thoughtful design and storytelling, I bring concepts to life, enhancing understanding and fostering meaningful connections and outcomes.

  • In a world of constant change, my systems thinking and learning agility serve as my compass. I analyse and understand complex systems and their interrelationships, breaking down complexities to reveal clear pathways for growth and innovation. By uncovering underlying patterns and connections, I address root causes and craft holistic solutions that drive sustainable improvements, optimise processes, and enhance overall efficiency.

  • Harnessing the power of scenario planning and speculative design, I anticipate future trends and uncertainties, crafting diverse and robust scenarios that drive proactive decision-making. My approach integrates creative foresight with strategic insight, enabling organisations to navigate complexity and adapt to evolving landscapes. Through immersive and thought-provoking scenarios, I guide teams in envisioning multiple futures, aligning their strategies with potential shifts and opportunities.

    This forward-thinking methodology ensures resilience and positions organisations for sustained success in a dynamic world, fostering innovative strategies and maintaining agility in the face of evolving challenges.

  • I bring a keen awareness of human behaviour to every interaction, intuitively tuning into what individuals are thinking and feeling. This enhances my effectiveness as a leader, designer, and educator. Empathy is not just a skill but a vital part of who I am, driving my commitment to creating compassionate, trusting, and supportive environments where everyone can thrive.
