Guardian of the Oceans and Humankind!

Currently, as a humble consultant and Founder of LifeGuardian Worldwide LLC , I walk with the staff, on a sojourn of justice, equity, design, and inclusion as we seek to evolve our inward facing efforts regarding the d.school’s commitment to Diversity and Inclusion. I have been with the d.school since the fall quarter of 2021. What began as a prototype design for sustainable conversations around equity turned into a longer lasting partnership that I appreciate and value to this day. Though I may lead a learning experience or coaching session, the power of transformation rests in our collective endeavor to learn and build from one another. I too have grown from our engagements together.


"At LifeGuardian Worldwide LLC, we are deeply committed to advancing the human condition by fostering awareness, empowering communities, and championing efforts that promote social and environmental justice. In an era marked by complex global challenges, we believe that true progress begins with raising consciousness and building the collective capacity to address systemic inequities and environmental degradation. By leveraging collective knowledge and fostering a shared sense of responsibility, we create a ripple effect of impact that extends far beyond individual actions."


The d.school's mission "to help people unlock their creative abilities and apply them to the world," is in alignment with that of my own firm. We are dedicated to being a catalyst for change, inspiring individuals, communities, and organizations to become active stewards of a more just and sustainable future. Together, we can elevate consciousness, build capacity, and leave a lasting legacy of justice and hope for generations to come.
