WHAT is Design Thinking ?
It's a problem-solving methodology based on empathy. Using co-creation workshops, we tap into collective intelligence to come up with better-suited solutions.
Design Thinking uses human experience as the center of solution co-creation. It's a good example of social technology as it encourages human-centered innovation.
HOW do we do Design Thinking?
1) We discuss & assess your problem-solving needs:
-
What is the issue?
-
In what context does it present itself?
-
What do you want to accomplish with this approach?
-
Do you have any idea of the timeline
to achievement a result?
2) I offer you an action plan adapted to your needs: Whether it is 1 introductory workshop, ideation or a complete Design Thinking process covering all the stages, we will find a solution!
3) We collaborate!

-
A methodology: because we investigate a problem through a series of specific steps. I accompany your team along the way!
-
Empathy: because we investigate a problem from your user/client/customer's point of view.
-
Collective intelligence : because bringing together a wide variety of perspectives allows for a well-suited solution that lasts in time.
-
Workshops: a new, productive and effective way to work in teams. We focus on doing instead of debating!
Yes! I use grigris to create safe places where I foster sharing ideas in a non-judgmental spirit 😉
What about ME?
-
A multidisciplinary artist, I hold a Masters degree in Design from prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in London.
This is where I fell in love with Human-Centered Design and Design Thinking. It has been my vocation for 10 years now!
-
I worked 20 years in the field of organization, management, production and logistics of international cultural events, multimedia and artistic projects. It sharpened my sense of problem solving and "knowing how to work together"!
-
I love people and their complexity!
Innovating, creating and working differently all have one thing in common: it requires being vulnerable. This is why I make sure with you to create a "safe place", a sacred space conducive to exchange and experimentation.
