ABOUT
Strategic Design integrates a strategic mindset with a designer's toolkit. It offers a curated selection of proven design methods and techniques to guide your thinking toward action and transformation and improvement.
It is a reflective practice that fully engages you in the innovation process of need/ problem finding (ASK), problem framing (TRY), and problem solving (DO).
Strategic Design is a problem-solving, opportunity-seeking decision-making process. It is participatory
and emergent, rooted in user research. At their best, multidisciplinary teams blend creative and critical thinking techniques to cocreate, test, and launch resilient solutions to big picture or systemic challenges. - Designed Leadership, Moura Quayle.

I am a Digital Marketing Specialist with 3.5 years of experience. I am passionate about business technology and innovation. As a globally-minded individual, originally from Peru, I was inspired to support diverse and vibrant communities in Vancouver through my work at the UBC Policy School, UBC Campus + Community Planning, UBC Graduate Student Society, the Latincouver Cultural & Business Society and the City of Vancouver.
