Kathy is working to address chronic barriers to Puget Sound recovery by bringing a design thinking approach to conservation and putting people at the center of creative problem solving.
I am the Projects and Innovation Manager for Puget Sound Conservation. In addition to working closely with the Water Team to institutionalize Floodplains by Design, I’m kicking off efforts to address chronic barriers to Puget Sound recovery through innovative problem solving. I’m passionate about solving problems from the human perspective and finding creative solutions that help bring people and nature closer in a symbiotic way.
Through my work, I bring a design thinking approach to problem solving that puts people at the center. I believe whole heartedly that every problem is a human problem and, for that reason, developing empathy for people and solving real problems for people is the way forward for conservation.
