Workshops + team facilitation
In-person and virtual workshop facilitation
A great workshop facilitator encourages collaboration, aligns teams, helps clarify priorities, and crystalizes ideas. I am that facilitator.
In-person + Virtual
Event Storming workshops
Goal: Identify key events, actors, and timelines for 0 to 1 product development.
Using this flexible framework to reach product and stakeholder goals, the result provided the team with a solid and shared knowledge of what was needed from staffing and technology, when each player was playing a primary or supportive role, timelines, and areas where cross-team alignment and collaboration were vital to success.
Case study coming soon
In-person + Virtual
Product Ideation workshops
Goal: generate, gather, and prioritize ideas for a shared vision of a new product.
This workshop provided a dynamic space to come up with additional functionality and features for a new product hypothesis, with input from engineering, subject matter experts, product, and user experience. The result: a collection of ideas that were stack-ranked, vetted, and shared across the company for inclusion in design testing.

Design Sprints
Goal: improve product functionality and deliver a viable, tested solution in 5 days.
Using the Google Ventures framework, these workshops reduce risk by designing, prototyping, and testing solutions on users in an intensive 5-day workshop. Having both moderated and participated in design sprints, I’ve learned it’s key to stay focused on a known, well-defined problem, with an eye on eliminating scope creep, for the best results.
Case study coming soon
