How I can help

Practical AI for organizations

Many teams are trying AI one person at a time. I give organizations confidence, and find where AI genuinely helps, and even design tools around how they actually work, with my human-centred design.

Facilitation, UX and digital strategy

Strategic planning, workshops and design charettes, backed by user research and digital strategy. I help groups hear every voice, understand what people actually need, and see their website, data and tools as one ecosystem.

Mediation and difficult conversations

When working relationships get stuck, I help people find a way untangled. I've trained with Mediate BC and am certified as a trauma-informed workplace investigator.

How I work

I started out as a composer, and I still work like one: listen first, then help the parts play together. The answers usually come from the people in the room, not from a framework brought in from outside.

I also lead the Interaction Design and UX program at Capilano University, which keeps me close to how people are learning to design with AI.

Who I work with

Non-profits, arts and cultural organizations, housing providers and community groups: people doing work that matters, who want to do it with more clarity and less friction.

Something tangled? Let's talk.

Tell me a bit about what you're working through, and we'll see whether I'm the right fit. Or email agentic-info@agentic.ca.
