Memorable Moment @ Frontier
Leading a workshop at the Carter Center to prototype future health programs focused on improving the lives of vulnerable people around the world. It was beyond inspiring to see the power of design ignite the imaginations of mission-driven scientists and health professionals and incredible to see the amazing ideas that surfaced in such a short amount of time.
Adage
Seek first to understand before developing solutions - the “right” solution in the wrong context is useless.
