I just finished IDEO's Human-Centered Strategy program. As a Product Designer, I've spent years leading experiments and conducting research, and I took this program to build on that and sharpen how I design and activate strategy. The biggest gain is how I lead teams to make effective decisions that move the business, a clear understanding of what we want to accomplish, what has to be true for the strategy to work, and how to get everyone behind it so it gets done. That's where my new insights make a difference in leading teams to deliver a strategy that's clear, shared, and built to make products people love and businesses can grow on.

I have just completed the Human-Centered Service Design course with IDEO U, marking a significant step as I transition into Service Design. A key takeaway for me is that effective service design goes beyond journey maps, touchpoints, or frameworks. It is also about fostering relationships, alignment, and shared understanding that enable better services to come to life. I want to express my gratitude to Gonzalo Perez Paredes and the teaching team for providing such a thoughtful and practical learning experience, as well as to the wonderful individuals I met along the way 😊 Stay tuned, I’ll be sharing my service design project in a next post.

AI is not my replacement. AI is part of my access system. As a neurodivergent person with dyslexia, I often think in patterns, associations, tensions, and connections before I can organize those ideas into language that others can easily follow. AI has helped me close that gap. It gives me a place to think out loud, organize complex ideas, translate across disciplines, and communicate with more clarity. It does not replace my judgment, expertise, or lived experience. It helps me express them more fully. That distinction matters. In education and ABA spaces, I have heard AI described as “cheating” or inappropriate. My experience has been more nuanced. When used responsibly, AI can be an accommodation, a thinking partner, and a creative scaffold. It can help make different kinds of thinking more visible. That is one of my biggest takeaways from completing the IDEO U AI x Design Thinking Certificate Program. For my course project, I applied AI and design thinking to a challenge I often see in schools: how middle and high school educators make in-the-moment decisions when students disengage, while still preserving learning, regulation, dignity, and educator capacity. Through observation, interviews, synthesis, ideation, prototyping, and iteration, my work shifted from “How do we manage student behavior?” to a deeper question: What classroom conditions, adult responses, peer dynamics, and task demands are shaping this moment? That work led to a prototype called Read the Loop, and then to a practical workshop direction: 👉 Find the friction. 👉 Shift one learning condition. 👉 Return to learning. What I’m carrying forward is both personal and professional: AI can help me organize my thoughts in order to communicate more fully, and design thinking can help me turn that thinking into practical tools for schools. My commitment is to use AI responsibly, transparently, and human-centeredly: to support clearer communication, deeper problem solving, and more humane learning environments. #IDEOU #AI #DesignThinking #HumanCenteredDesign #Education #StudentEngagement #Neurodiversity #ProfessionalLearning #GenerativeAI
