"That we are able to create a more humane counter-narrative to the prevailing “singularity” story of our futures by tapping into a plurality of voices from across the world."
"My defining qualities would be optimism, curiosity, empathy, energy and listening skills - still figuring out how unique they are."
"We need radically better ways of working and looking at business role in society if we are to thrive on this beautiful planet - that will only work with innovation powered by design mindsets."
"I commit to curating, hosting, facilitating and harvesting meaningful conversations between progressive minds that seek to find solutions to our most pressing issues."

"The intersection of innovation, design and sustainability."
"At heart I am a bridge-builder and peacemaker. I have discovered that design has an special ability to help people build bridges and make peace. To listen to each other, to find common purpose and to collaboratively create something that everyone cares about."
"We need to keep track with the ever-increasing speed of change in our world. Building innovation capacity in a global community means that we can tackle the change more effectively."
"I commit to actively share with and learn from this global family of change-makers."
