I am an innovation, product and user experience strategist.
I have worked on everything from the future of toothpaste to mission control for NASA. I am an author, speaker, facilitator, and on the side I’m a photographer.

Presently I am Assistant VP of Marketing at the global innovation and design firm frog design, overseeing corporate marketing, strategy and thought leadership for frog and its 10,000 person parent company, the Aricent Group. In my 9 years at frog, I helped build and lead the strategy group and establish the design research practice, and have worked with some of the largest and most interesting companies in the world.

I am the author of the book Innovation X: Why a Company’s Toughest Problems are its Greatest Advantage, and I speak worldwide at conferences and workshops on the topics of innovation, design, and user research. I have run over 50 workshops ranging up to 3 days in length, and with as many as 200 people.

In addition to my blog here I blog for Harvard Business Review.
