EVOLVING AN INNOVATION CULTURE

Hi, I'm Margaret. I'm a strategist, facilitator, designer, writer, coach, and culture junkie. As a Silicon Valley native, I learned to think in systems, strategies, and surprises, to create in metaphor, experiences, and technology, and to relate with empathy and curiosity.

Underpinned by skills and instinct, and fueled by collaboration and innovation (aka applied creativity), I am as analytical as I am creative; as big picture as detail-oriented; and as driven by results as much as I welcome pivots. I am as much a maker as I am a champion; as comfortable with technology as with people; and as skilled in facilitation as in ideation.

​

As a practicing service designer and purpose-driven design strategist, I work from principles built on design thinking+, archetypes, and sustainability.

In my spare time you might find me on my mat, exploring this amazing world, drawing mind maps of the latest book on my nightstand, binge watching sci-fi, fantasy fiction or period dramas, and/or celebrating life with family and friends. (Oh, or reorganizing some corner of my life that has succumbed to entropy.)

“By all means move at a glacial pace ... you know how that thrills me.”

Anyone name the movie reference?
