About
Innovative Design Executive | Futurist | Entrepreneur | Educator From Nike, Disney, and Ford to Google and Johnson & Johnson, I have spent over 25 years shaping the future of design and business strategy. As co-founder and Chief Experience Officer (CXO) of Carbon Project, I specialize in strategic foresight and future-proofing, ensuring businesses not only thrive today but anticipate and adapt to the challenges of tomorrow. My expertise lies in human-centered design, innovation strategy, and brand positioning, helping companies scale, differentiate, and create meaningful customer experiences. Through my leadership, I’ve helped businesses double their market potential, leveraging design intelligence, foresight analysis, and creative problem-solving to drive sustainable growth and competitive advantage. Beyond my work at Carbon Project, I am a mentor, advisor, and educator, dedicated to sharing my knowledge with startups, students, and industry leaders. My work—including award-winning projects with Nike—has earned recognition such as the I.D. Design Excellence and Innovation Award, as well as a Clio Award in TV and Cinema for the Art Center College of Design Narrative Catalog. I thrive at the intersection of business intelligence, creativity, and human insight, transforming complex challenges into breakthrough opportunities. Always looking ahead, I seek to push boundaries, challenge convention, and create impact through design.
