About
I help clients innovate and adapt to a rapidly changing competitive landscape within complex spaces. I work with clients in various industries including education, advisory services, government, healthcare, financial services, telecommunications, entertainment and the arts. I have a passion for helping organizations build brands and strategies that improve people's lives. As a Procter & Gamble trained brand marketer, I saw firsthand how P&G drove revenue and profit growth with innovation. Inspired by my experience, I founded my own small business, a publishing company, and built sales through innovative marketing partnerships with Forbes and BusinessWeek magazines.Innovation and Experience design allows me to create value at the intersection of my passions for storytelling, innovation, strategy and design.

Over the course of eight weekly challenges, students immerse themselves in the circular economy and propose solutions that will improve the sourcing, manufacturing, use and disposability of fashion products now and in the future.
