I thrive on bringing learning and growth experiences to life through interactive workshops, facilitated dialogues, speaking engagements, and custom events. Using a blend of onsite and online modalities, I design engaging experiences that create meaning, spark insight, and drive action.

Entrepreneurship can be messy, uncertain, and riddled with self-doubt—especially for those who don’t see themselves reflected in traditional business models. In my first few months as a small business owner, I often felt like I was fumbling through a process that wasn’t built for me. So, instead of forcing myself into someone else’s blueprint, I turned to design thinking to chart my own path.
In this session, I’ll share my story and explore how applying design thinking principles—prototyping, iteration, and human-centered problem-solving—helped me move through imposter syndrome, let go of perfectionism, and experiment with ideas one micro-step at a time. Failure wasn’t always graceful, but the process was organic—and it helped me build a sustainable business rooted in my values, strengths, and curiosity.
Attendees will finish the session with a practical framework for using design thinking to:
Start before you feel ready
Embrace progress over perfection
Treat failure as data, not defeat
Build a business that grows and evolves with you
Whether you’re just starting out or ready to pivot, this session offers practical tools and mindset shifts to help you experiment boldly, reframe setbacks, and confidently design a business that feels unabashedly you.
