What I am Thinking About
It’s summertime here in the Northern Hemisphere. I’m currently building capacity for strategic design in the health system and in health more broadly, across several overlapping initiatives.
A good part of my energy is going into rebuilding the Design for Health graduate curriculum and program at OCAD University, bringing it up to a level of programming that better reflects the challenges organizations and health systems face today. This is fairly typical work for any program at this stage, and I’m partnering with faculty colleagues to envision what design for health could look like in 2027 and beyond.

Projects
I’m running the Summer Series for Cense this year, once again focused on designing for health in the age of complexity. It’s a run of six webinars: the second and third land in July, the fourth and fifth in August, and the sixth wraps things up in early September. Together they’ll cover key areas of design and health, offering some guidance and inspiration for people looking to bring more of this thinking into their own work.
I’m also supervising students in OCAD’s Strategic Foresight and Innovation program, along with a couple of independent study classes — good company for staying grounded in the pragmatic side of designing for health.
And my client work continues, which remains thoroughly enjoyable. I’m looking forward to working with some new clients in the months ahead.
