EQUITY-CENTRED DESIGN THINKER
Navigating Wicked Problems with People at the Forefront
Change is essential yet navigating through complex challenges and finding consensus on how to create change can be daunting. Especially when dealing with wicked problems - those messy, interconnected challenges where one decision can impact numerous others.
​
That's where I come in. Hi, I'm Julia! I offer a powerful solution to help you understand the people who matter most to your organization. Using design thinking, I will guide you through untangling wicked problems to uncover the root cause of problems and unmet stakeholder needs.

Are you ready to listen? Design Thinking with an Emphasis on Equity and Empathy
In today's business landscape, putting people first is essential. Your organization's value is derived from the people it serves. When faced with challenges, it's crucial to turn to those affected as the experts on their own experience.
​
Design thinking offers a powerful approach to problem-solving, where empathy takes center stage. By working with people to understand their perspectives and uncover "aha!" moments, new approaches can be sparked. This approach is particularly effective for tackling wicked problems - complex challenges with differing opinions and heightened emotions.
​
As a design thinking consultant, I bring an empathy-based approach to the table. I collaborate with you to understand the unique needs and perspectives of all stakeholders, prioritizing equity and inclusivity in the process. Together, we can navigate the complexities, find innovative solutions, and create a more inclusive and forward-thinking approach to problem-solving.
