I work at the intersection of people and systems — figuring out where organizations get stuck, and designing the structures that let good people do meaningful work together. My background spans engineering and operations, civic government, higher education, and community development across the Bay Area, which means I bring both rigorous process thinking and genuine relational depth to every engagement.
I'm drawn to the formative moments: when a community is finding its identity, when an organization needs strategy to become a system, when a coalition needs a shared narrative to move forward. These are the moments where thoughtful design — and honest conversation — can change everything.
As a member of this community of consultants and civic practitioners, I help design the shared frameworks and pilot initiatives we use collectively to address complex community challenges — connecting convenings, prototype projects, and shared resources toward work that matters beyond the bottom line.
Program & Systems Design
Designing the frameworks and processes that allow people across complex organizations and networks to work in alignment — not just in parallel.
Scenario Planning & Strategic Planning
Facilitating the conversations and structures that move leadership teams from vision to coherent, executable strategy.
Cultivating cross-sector partnerships that create genuine co-ownership and durable relationships between institutions and communities.
Building programs and operating models from the ground up — with attention to sustainability, equity, and the community context they live inside.
