About me
I'm a multidisciplinary designer with over eight years' experience across print, digital and experiential.
Most of my experience has been in the nonprofit sector, where I've always worked at the intersection of visual communication, learning design and innovation. I like to combine ideas, strategy and research to tell stories, help people learn and problem-solve.
I'm a passionate advocate for design as a radical force for good in the world - from facilitating conversations to shaping processes, products and services that are inclusive and participatory.
Projects
- Empowering 500,000 Nonprofits to LearnThrough its platform, Canva supports 500,000 nonprofits globally. How to foster learning and collaboration for such a diverse audience?

MY ROLE I designed a 90-minute class to bring Forum employees up to speed on the principles of visual communication: this includes communication theory and design thinking as well as the basics of typography, layout, colour and multimed

The 2019 edition featured: Jane Goodall, Skye Meaker, Caroline Baumann, Sinéad Burke, Chiara Tilesi, Rena Effendi, Maria Konnikova and Eyal Weizman. MY ROLE I help speakers develop the storyline for their
- Yuval Harari | The End of Homo SapiensTHE CHALLENGE In the next century or two, Harari argues, humans will either upgrade themselves into gods or destroy themselves. Either way, we're probably one of the last generations of Homo Sapiens. What's next? Best-selling author Yuval Harari asked me to bring these ideas to life in the run-up to Brand Minds 2019, one of Europe's largest business summits.
