Being an expert is great. But if everyone is focusing on detail, the bigger picture can get lost. In an ever more complex, complicated and elusive world divided into areas of expertise, I build bridges between people, ideas, industries and projects.
I help experts to situate highly specific, complex work within a holistic social narrative. I support companies and institutions in making products, services and solutions more accessible and understandable to internal and external stakeholders and the general public.
