About Me

Workplace Experience Leader, Strategist, Consultant, and Designer Greater Boston Area and Remote

I believe that a thoughtfully designed workplace can be a powerful catalyst for employee well-being, collaboration, innovation and business success. With over 20 years of experience leading Global brand, creative, and workplace experience teams, experiential events and transforming work environments, I’m passionate about creating spaces that inspire people to do their best work.

Crafting inspiring and people-centric workplaces, my approach blends:

  • Strategic Design: Tailoring workplace strategies to align with your unique vision and corporate objectives, turning workplace investment into a lever for success.

  • Human-Centered Design: Putting people at the heart of the design process through user research, data analysis, and collaboration.

  • Results-Driven Execution: Leading complex projects from concept to completion, efficiently and effectively, while ensuring they stay on time and within budget.

 

Passionate about creating environments where you belong.
Whether transitioning to a hybrid work model, optimizing office space, or creating a brand new workplace experience, I’m here to help design a work environment that reflects a company’s values and inspires teams to thrive.
