Description

I'm an innovation and product consultant, which means that I work at the intersection of creativity and business impact. I have multiple years of experience in bridging conceptual and analytical thinking, both in management consulting and the creative industry. I'm fiercely user-centric, highly communicative, and fascinated by creating the New.
