I am a design futurist, creative director, and thought leader with 25 years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies, communities, and institutions across the globe. As a female leader in tech, I seek to elevate lesser-known voices and diversify the field and the products and experiences we create. I specialize in interdisciplinary collaboration and imagining the innovative potential and ethical implications of emerging technologies—including AI and the metaverse. Recent engagements and recognition include NASA, The World Economic Forum, MIT Press, Yale Law School, The Washington Post, and Hyperallergic.
