Pilot. Accelerate. Scale. Transform.

Designing repeatable learning experience programs that move people - and companies - forward.

Why design matters

Design isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the difference between good ideas and high-quality results that scale and last.

How I design

Design is both art and science. My approach is disciplined, methodical, and brand-building and also highly creative and intuitive. Growing up, I loved Monet paintings - how each brushstroke, in itself a work of art, brilliantly comes together to create a masterpiece. This is how I design: Every micro-detail is intentional and works together to create a cohesive and meaningful macro-experience. Thats what gets results. Meaningful change. Transformation.

My results

Results matter. One of my proudest design achievements was building Braven’s flagship programs - college-to-career leadership accelerators unlike anything that existed at the time. Built for transformation, they continue to scale their national impact today.

My approach to learning experience design includes:

• Creative and disciplined problem solving

• A deep, studied yet practical understanding of teaching and learning

• Progressive, stand-out thought leadership and innovation as the foundation

• Pilot-ready agile experimentation and ongoing iteration

• Design instincts and a sixth sense for coherence

• Deep empathy for users and program executors

• Brand development and business strategy

• Less is more

Back when I was doing this work full-time and trying to hire learning experience designers, it was hard to find people who designed in this way so I chose to train them myself. These designers went on to train more designers as well. It’s a learnable approach.

I recently worked on a program redesign with an early-career leader who had execution skills but limited design experience. My role was more of a coach but there was a 7-week gap in our timeline where she needed to move the work forward without me. I created a program design kit which walked her through each phase of the design process step-by-step, week-by-week. The CEO’s response: “I want to use this for every program here. I want my staff to be trained in this.” That’s when I realized there was a need: Organizations need help designing well-crafted programs. And this need is everywhere.

Experience with:

• AI Innovation Incubators

• Mentor/Coach-led experiences

• Apprenticeship models

• In-person, online, and hybrid programs

• Incentivization strategies for engagement

• Fellowships

• Leadership and Skill Accelerators

• Once-in-a-career experiential leadership development programs

• and many more…

Need design support?

Whether you're launching a new program or redesigning one, here are three ways we can create transformational learning experiences together:

SELF-GUIDED ACCESS

• Year-long unlimited access to the Program Design Kit which includes step-by-step guidance, templates, and resources

• Guidance on getting buy-in, managing change, and operationalizing the design with excellence

• Monthly Q&A - an opportunity to submit questions and get an expert’s perspective
