Faculty&Advisor
Segal Design Institute, Northwestern University
I am an architect and designer, machinist and strategist, entrepreneur and educator. I believe design is creative problem-solving. I approach complex challenges with a naturally multidisciplinary perspective. As an educator, I teach human-centered design at the Segal Design Institute, Northwestern University, and have taught at IIT Institute of Design, CEPT University, and Kellogg School of Management. Through my work, I demonstrate that design, strategy, innovation, sustainability, accessibility and profitability can align to benefit both people and planet.
