More About Pansy

My passion: teaching, mentoring and leading creative thinkers.

Alongside my consulting and experience strategy work, I teach at York University, guest lecture at universities, and actively contribute to the design community in Toronto and beyond.

I mentor designers on craft, storytelling, and building influence. And yes: I’m also the kind of person who genuinely enjoys creative side quests, from hands-on making to building scrappy prototypes.

  • Pansy moves things forward. She takes a very human approach to everything and always endeavors to find the fun in any situation. Pansy can own a room and make the most introverted individuals feel empowered and excited. Her broad skillset and drive makes her an outstanding collaborator, a great client counterpart, an excellent mentor and uber-dependable.

  • Pansy has it all. Talent. Drive. Can-do attitude. I worked with Pansy when she was at Klick Health. She was always looking to help find ways to improve the process and the work. She was also instrumental in help identify and recruit talent to come to our agency. I have one piece of advice for you -- if you're considering hiring Pansy -- do it. Do not hesitate. She will make your entire organization better.
