informdA mid-sized consumer goods company wanted to embed regenerative design principles into its product line but lacked a clear framework for measuring progress or aligning teams around a shared vision. I was brought in as an outside advisor to design a measurement framework and facilitate cross-functional workshops so that product, design, and sustainability teams could align on shared regenerative design metrics. I began by interviewing stakeholders across each team to surface conflicting priorities and understand where misalignment was creating friction. From there, I drafted a set of five regenerative design metrics tied to the company's existing product KPIs, ensuring the new framework would integrate with how teams already measured success rather than compete with it. I then ran three workshops over six weeks, using prototypes and scoring exercises to build consensus across teams, and iterated the framework in response to pushback from the sustainability team to ensure it reflected genuine cross-functional buy-in rather than a top-down mandate. The results were tangible and fast: within two quarters, all three teams were actively using the framework to score new product concepts. It directly influenced the redesign of two flagship products, cutting material waste by 15%, and gave leadership a shared dashboard to track regenerative progress across the organization — transforming an abstract sustainability ambition into a concrete, measurable practice embedded in everyday product decisions.

Architecture for Humanity pioneered a new model for the application of design, specifically architectural, to humanitarian crises. It was a non-profit focused on architectural interventions and resolutions for various definitions of ‘disaster’ around the world. Our chapter in San Francisco led the research and design of a sustainable community design project in collaboration with the Mayor's Office of San Francisco, MTA, Federal EPA, SF Redevelopment Agency, and the Residents of the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco. This was a 5 year project to rethink and redesign the use and meaning of a neighborhood open to improvement. Our new approach was rooted in first-hand research and community organization. The success of this implemented proposal on Newcomb Avenue brought 16 additional Model Blocks to San Francisco neighborhoods. » Winner of Federal EPA funding » Winner of the Mayor's Office CCG Grant 2007, 2008 » Winner of Wells Fargo Community Sponsorship
