Innovation strategist & facilitator with 9+ years in problem-solving & creative leadership.
What I'm looking for
With over nine years of experience in innovation facilitation and problem-solving, I have built a career around helping teams and organizations address complex challenges and drive meaningful change. My journey began with a focus on strategic design and creative leadership, where I quickly developed a passion for using structured, human-centered methodologies to inspire collaboration and innovation.
As Principal Facilitator at Empathink, I specialize in designing and leading workshops tailored to each team’s unique culture and needs. A highlight of my career was guiding a 4-day innovation sprint for the Municipality of Lima, where I worked with a diverse group to create practical solutions for reducing COVID-19 infections in public spaces. Seeing the solution funded and implemented within weeks reinforced my commitment to actionable, impact-driven facilitation.
My professional interests extend to the intersection of technology and creativity. I’m enthusiastic about how AI can transform the creative process, and I’ve integrated tools like UIzard into my work to streamline prototyping and enhance project efficiency. I’m also passionate about fostering collaborative team environments, where every participant feels empowered to contribute and learn.
With a blend of creative strategy, hands-on facilitation, and an interest in emerging tech, I’m eager to work with startups and organizations that are looking to innovate, adapt, and solve complex problems in creative, impactful ways.
