Whipsaw & Hillary Carey

Working with the San Francisco design firm Whipsaw, we developed research techniques to help clients, stakeholders, and research participants imagine the opportunities and challenges that might come in 2030. We created a 7-year product roadmap for innovation based on the findings.

Hillary Carey & Jessica Meharry

We introduced the creative, optimistic, and long-term perspective of futuring into a year-long reparative anti-racism project to advance institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts at an arts college. New paths forward emerge when we imagine better futures.

Kaiser Permanente &
Winnow Research

To ensure that technology, architecture, and user experience came together smoothly in new hospital designs, we created full-scale mock-ups of lobby spaces. Beginning in a warehouse but soon moving to work buildings, we iterated on ways of working and invented new technology.

DesignDept.co & Hillary Carey

I developed and taught a workshop for design leaders on communicating their visions for change. Most tools for visioning are catered toward business language, but designers have additional tools to describe the change they propose.

Hopelab & Winnow Research

The social scientists at Hopelab partnered with my research firm to explore “How might we design systems that build resilience and increase job satisfaction for nurses at Dignity Health?” We led participatory design activities to elevate the needs of nursing staff and materialize their ideas for change.

Hack the Hood & Winnow Research

Winnow delivered a report describing the context and opportunities to use video to enhance learning-to-work pathways for at-risk youth. It synthesizes rich conversations with the inspiring leaders of Hack the Hood and the youth they serve. The California Workforce Investment Board funded it as part of the Workforce Accelerator Fund.
