I was drawn to a career as a Trend Forecaster/ Strategist because it enables someone who is curious about the world, to simply go out and explore it.
I am intrigued by travel and the tiny glimpses of culture you are fortunate enough to see from the moment you get off a plane in a new city. Visiting 30 countries has provided me with a host of stories and key insights for a variety of publications and clients and past experiences with Li Edelkoort and Faith Popcorn broadened my understanding of Trend Forecasting.
Currently I work with a trend consulting group on projects for a major US retailer - and in my spare time I project manage Likemind, a 45 city coffee hour that brings together planners, strategists, creatives and trend forecasters for coffee and conversation once a month.
