Philosophy of Leadership Design as Story, Leadership as Direction
Leadership, like theatre, is about creating connection. It’s knowing your audience, pacing the story, and orchestrating moments that resonate. I lead teams like a director: bringing diverse voices together, setting a clear vision, and ensuring every detail contributes to the larger narrative.
From my time in academia, I bring a love of experimentation and a focus on measurable outcomes. I believe in crafting environments where bold ideas are tested, refined, and brought to life with both creativity and precision. Like a great production, the work should feel effortless—but only after rigorous preparation.
Core Principles
Connection to Audience: Every design begins with empathy, anticipating needs and creating solutions that feel intuitive, personal, and impactful.
Pacing and Energy: Leadership requires rhythm—knowing when to push, when to pause, and how to keep the team aligned and inspired.
Iterative Excellence: Borrowing from academia, I embrace rubrics and experimentation, blending creativity with metrics to guide both design and growth.
The Vision
Great design tells a story. Great leadership shapes the cast and choreography that make the story possible. Together, they create not just outcomes, but experiences that leave a lasting impression—on teams, users, and the future.
