About

I am part designer, entrepreneur, and scientist. I leverage these tools to lead opportunities that affect the human condition for the better. I believe the world is what we make it, and doing less bad is not good enough. I am the founder of Studio Bracher, an award-winning design and strategy firm with two decades of experience creating innovative products, building meaningful brands, and bringing game-changing experiences to life, from insight to realization. I am the founder of Betterlab, born from the belief that sometimes it is best to create what is not there, that needs to be there, to improve our world where possible.
