My work has long focused on the intersection of design strategy and creative mindset for successful innovation.
My research has focused on what makes successful innovation. I’ve researched with iconic businesses and creatives globally, including Smart Design, frog and DesignWorks, and have collaborated with leaders in their fields. These resources have all been peer-reviewed.
This work has been published in journals and books about design leadership, innovation, and human-computer interaction. I’ve also spoken about my research at conferences globally.
