I am the founder of Create Potential®, where I work with founders, business leaders, and creative professionals to apply creativity as a strategic capability for better decision-making, complex problem-solving, meaningful goal achievement, and navigating change in work and life. As a creativity researcher and a multidisciplinary artist, I work at the intersection of cognitive science and creative practice. I approach creativity not as a niche talent or aesthetic skill, but as a fundamental human capability that can be cultivated and applied across domains. Trained by the Flow Research Collective, I publish research-informed writing, host a podcast on creativity and flow, and work with individuals and organizations through keynotes, workshops, facilitated sessions, and long-form learning experiences. Drawing on research in creativity science, flow state research, neuroscience, psychology, and human performance, my work examines how creativity supports thinking, innovation, adaptation, and achievement in real-world contexts. I translate this research into practical frameworks that strengthen clarity, creative problem-solving, effective innovation, resilience, and sustained performance during periods of growth, uncertainty, or transition. My work centers on creative wayfinding: exploring how creativity functions as a practical navigation skill for decision-making, adaptation, and forward progress when direction is unclear or familiar paths no longer apply. My perspective is also shaped by lived experience as the mother of a medically complex child, which informs my work on resilience, adaptive thinking, and purpose when conditions are unpredictable.
