Like many people in the arts, I'm interested in new models that help people combine mission-driven work with an entrepreneurial spirit.

I’ve been facilitating design labs for nonprofits and foundations, and continue to be excited about them because it is a way to generate feedback and ideas that can improve a strategy or program in service of the participants being served. In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”.
