Joanne is a facilitator and designer. She used to call herself a systemic designer until she realized that expert-led, industrialized solutions created many global problems and systemic change needed to be community-led. Her role as a designer expanded from being an expert and a problem solver to being a facilitator engaging with and enabling communities to lead and solve wicked problems. That\u2019s why she ventured into social innovation and community development during the pandemic after 20+ years traversing business systems across industries in both public and private sectors (including the U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs, Bridgewater Associates, Infrastructure Ontario, and IBM Canada).<\/p>\n
Her current work focuses on life-centred design, regenerative mindset, and relational systems thinking. As a representative of the Si Toronto Hub, she is growing a community of aspiring systems\/complexity thinkers and designers learning and doing systems innovation through co-inquiry and co-creation.
