Research & Strategy

As a freelance strategist and professional people-watcher, I thrive on long-term partnerships and meaty problems. I'm always looking for the next collaboration to sink into. I take on new clients and assignments in research, strategy, and organizational design with my consultancy From Forward—whether it’s uncovering the root cause of how people behave to facilitating conversations that help teams and institutions change how they work

Before launching my consultancy, I led research and product strategy at a design studio focused on emerging technology and robotics—making sure machines play well with humans. That fascination with the human side of technology continues to shape my work.
