"Elise is a born leader who uses design thinking, project management, and problem-solving skills to lead small teams that can ship products. But she's not just a leader. She's also beautiful storyteller who understands how to blend rich narratives with modern analytics to create spreadable, searchable, enjoyable engagement.”

Design Thinking
I love design thinking because it's a user-centered approach that can be used to solve any problem. I’ve used design thinking as a project management tool, process for innovation, and technique for collecting data. Currently, I both practice design thinking and teach it.
User Research
No matter where you are in the process, either generating or evaluating, collecting quantitative or qualitative data, I’m ready to jump in. By keeping empathy and ethics at the center of my practice, I’m comfortable with executing a variety of methods to yield actionable insights.
Facilitation & Workshops
Using design thinking tools and tailoring them to a variety of topics, I pride myself on facilitating highly interactive, collaborative workshops for diverse audiences.
