Stance & Style
Designing “Ventures”
Always excited by the process of seriously venturing into something new together with clients and partners, and creating change through shared effort. Would love to join in your ventures too.

To create transformation in society or organizations, it is effective to see them as “organic systems,” understand their ecology and structure, and design interventions that prompt behavioral change at leverage points.
