Hungry for more nourishing connections?
Together we can co-create the kind of stick-to-your-bones, relationship-centered experiences your community craves.
I’M A TRANSFORMATIONAL EXPERIENCE DESIGNER.
I facilitate the co-creation of transformational experiences that enable people to engage more fully with life and each other.
We all crave experiences. Something different, outside of our ordinary day to day, to jog us from our inertia and apathy. We are hungry for joy, surprise, and wonder. For a sense of belonging.
Instead of just designing for eyes on screens, my work is about finding ways to engage the other senses and design for presence, awe, and connection. For transformation.
We all just want to feel something. We want to feel whole, nourished, and alive. Thrilled, delighted, playful, free. To be reminded of the magic of this wild world.
Humans are deeply curious creatures, but at some point we trade our sense of wonder for the safety of predictability. But we’re collectively numb. We desperately want our attention to be grabbed. We want to be stunned, invigorated, seen.
Experience design offers a solution to our fundamental human craving for connection and meaning in the face of increased isolation and boredom by delivering profound, meaningful and transformational impact. The kind of experiences that stick to the bones. That forge new connections, and deepen existing ones.
Design WITH, not FOR.

WHAT MAKES AN EXPERIENCE TRANSFORMATIVE?
Experience Design takes people and human needs as the first frame of reference. Design for transformation takes it a step further, taking into account our fundamental human desire for growth, purpose, and change. In a time of growing isolation and disconnectedness from what matters most, transformational experience design offers a vision for how the world could be, driving meaningful impact for people, organizations, and society. The following six pillars are the foundation for facilitating transformation:
Participation
Active Engagement & Autonomy
Relationships
Positive Connections
Risk
Something at Stake
Mindfulness
Guided Attention & Presence
Belonging
Inclusiveness & Community
Reflection
Thoughtful Reminiscence & Insight
