Parsons School of Design
MS Strategic Design & ManagementNew York

I keep going back to school—grad programs, workshops, intensives, seminars. It sharpens how I connect design, business, and technology to tackle complex challenges.
                    At Parsons, I've developed a research-driven approach to design thinking—bridging strategic frameworks, human-centered methods, and interdisciplinary collaboration. My work has spanned service design, systems thinking, speculative design, strategic foresight, and AI integration—with an emphasis on designing the process itself, tailoring methodologies to fit each challenge.
                    I've also pursued specialization at Central Saint Martins in London—creative direction, trend forecasting, and digital visual culture. My foundation in business, marketing, and communications was developed at Drake University.
