Steve is a strategic design practitioner with extensive experience in building new ventures, products, services, and practices. As Director at innovation consultancy, How To Impact, he leads design projects, innovation accelerators, innovation training, and Futures Labs, to address complex problems.
A complexity-friendly leader, Steve excels at zooming in and out—making sense of human and systems behaviour. He adeptly holds the elusive space between disciplines, reframing problems, resolving paradoxes, and negotiating values and assumptions and has a keen eye for observing the strange, missing, or broken in everyday life.
Steve holds a Master's degree in Creative Intelligence and Strategic Innovation and continues research on transdisciplinary innovation, complexity, philosophy, and experimental practices. In 2023, he was awarded the TD School Merit Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement.
