Hi! I'm a writer @ heart & designer by trade, helping (tech) creators use their superpowers for good.
Over the last 21 years, I've helped companies like Philips, ING, Land Life Company, and WaitWhat turn innovation strategy into award-winning products & services. And my book, The Creative Empathy Field Guide, is a practical toolkit for incorporating empathy into any creative process.
My Philosophy:
More love, less fear
More nature, less screen time
More attention, less distraction
More compassion, less division
I've given keynotes, talks, classes, and workshops in 12 countries. In them, I employ stories and examples from my work in healthcare, sustainability, fintech, and the internet of things. I hold a Doctorate in Human-System Interaction and a Master’s in Industrial Psychology. Apparently, I’m a pretty good sailor as well…
Other hats I wear include keynote speaker, podcaster, actor, and UX consultant. Our true superpowers come from where art and science meet, so my work explores the best of both worlds. Let's use our superpowers for good!
