I am the Chair of the MFA Design for Social Innovation (DSI) program at the School of Visual Arts, an experienced-based graduate program dedicated to fostering and preparing the next generation of designers, leaders, and entrepreneurs to improve the health, equity, social justice, creativity, inclusivity, and resilience of our cities, environment, companies, and communities. At the heart of my work is a passion for simplicity, collaboration, thinking through making, and storytelling--with an aim to always leave the world a little better than I found it.
