Sydney
Designer, scientist, networked thinker. I'm a generalist who enjoys connecting the dots, experiencing the grey and sitting at intersections. My current curiosity: Emerging technology x Psychology x Economics
I wasn't always a designer. I used to herd cats (real ones) as a veterinarian. I was a doctor, surgeon, pharmacist, pathologist, counsellor, coordinator – a real-life swiss army knife.
After 5 years as a veterinary surgeon, I hung up the stethoscope to give back in a different way. I traded my scalpel for design thinking, stethoscope for LEAN and needles for Agile – solving different problems with new tools.
