My 4 pillars
What Guides My Work
01
Designing from the margins
Sensing the edges of a system to include marginalized voices in any solution, creating healthier and more humane systems. We are only as healthy as the most vulnerable among us.
02
Replacing judgement with curiosity
This is a game changer, how you move in the world and how the world moves around you changes. Everything, everyplace, everyone becomes a possibility.
03
Change happens in the process not just the end product
Helping systems sense themselves and evolve along the path to problem-solving. Life is a journey, not a destination isn’t cliché, it is wisdom.
04
Purpose of a system is what it does
An inescapable truth that pushes us to be honest about the systems we create. It takes courage to design the world we want to see.
