Reports + Pitch Decks

I thrive at the intersection of strategy, technology, and design—delivering actionable insights that push industries forward. These reports and pitches showcase my ability to identify emerging opportunities, reframe existing technologies, and create strategic roadmaps for disruptive businesses. While the full reports aren’t available for download, they highlight the depth of research, creativity, and strategic foresight I bring to every challenge.

  • The New Space Economy: Off-World Construction

    While at McKinsey & Company, I launched a research initiative exploring how industries can expand into the rapidly evolving space economy. This report outlines a strategic roadmap, positioning off-world construction as the next critical industry to follow telecommunications into space. It examines key opportunities, challenges, and actionable insights that have since influenced companies like ICON in their pursuit of lunar and Martian construction technologies.

  • The New Space Economy: Off-World Mining

    As a continuation of my space economy research at McKinsey & Company, this report explores the next industry poised for off-world expansion—mining. It delves into the strategic importance of extraterrestrial resource extraction, examining key challenges, viable methods, and potential business opportunities. The insights outlined here provide a foundation for how companies can capitalize on space mining to support future space-based infrastructure and economic growth.

  • Project Quantum Leap: Designing the Space Life Raft

    With private spaceflight becoming increasingly accessible, a National Geographic explorer sought to pioneer an emergency re-entry system for individuals. This initiative aimed to develop a personal orbital life raft, enabling astronauts to safely return to Earth without a spacecraft. I led the product definition, development roadmap, training program, and funding strategy to bring this visionary concept closer to reality.

  • DESIGNING PRODUCT ECOSYSTEMS: STRATEGIC GROWTH & SCALABILITY

    Building a successful product ecosystem isn’t just about creating something new—it’s about crafting a strategic evolution. These reports lay out a clear, adaptable approach to aligning product ecosystems with a company’s current growth stage while staying focused on long-term objectives. By weaving together market insights, emerging technologies, and business goals, I develop frameworks that don’t just scale but thrive. Regular research and planning cycles ensure these ecosystems stay responsive to shifting market conditions and emerging opportunities, keeping businesses agile, competitive, and primed for the future.

  • NEW PRODUCT RESEARCH: DEFINING OPPORTUNITIES & MAXIMIZING IMPACT

    Successful product development starts long before a prototype—it begins with deep research and strategic validation. My approach focuses on identifying the right opportunities by aligning human needs with business objectives, ensuring new products deliver meaningful impact. Through comprehensive market analysis, user insights, and business alignment, I help define product opportunities, assess market potential, and establish key success criteria. This upfront investment in research minimizes risk, optimizes resource allocation, and accelerates go-to-market success.

  • PRODUCT GAP ANALYSIS: BRIDGING THE PATH TO SUCCESS

    A product’s journey doesn’t end with development—it thrives within a broader ecosystem of supporting services, workflows, and infrastructure. Product Gap Analysis identifies critical missing components needed to deliver a seamless user experience and ensures alignment with business objectives. From accessories and support services to operational workflows and new organizational capabilities, this strategic process uncovers potential gaps and provides a clear roadmap to implement essential elements in time for a successful product launch.

Sparking Conversations
& Igniting Ideas

I’ve had the opportunity to share ideas I’m passionate about on some of the world’s biggest stages and media platforms. My work has been recognized by peers and industry leaders alike. But recognition has never been the goal—it’s about pushing good ideas forward, developing technology that helps, and inspiring what’s next.

Reinventing Emergency Housing
My second TED talk introduced Reaction’s emergency shelter system—a breakthrough in disaster relief that redefined rapid response housing. Originally presented in my first TED talk in New Orleans, this refined version went on to be featured as TED’s Talk of the Day, igniting global discussions on how design can provide dignity and security in crisis situations. Though years have passed, the idea remains as vital as ever in addressing today’s humanitarian challenges.

The Wire – Rethinking Urban Transit
My third TED talk explored The Wire, an aerial cable transit system designed to move people efficiently above city streets at a fraction of traditional mass transit costs. The concept remains a forward-thinking solution for sustainable urban mobility, offering a scalable and cost-effective alternative to congested city infrastructure.

Bringing Ideas to Life: Producing & Directing Large-Scale Events
Beyond taking the stage to present my own ideas, I thrive behind the scenes—crafting compelling narratives, designing immersive experiences, and orchestrating complex events that bring groundbreaking concepts to life. At SXSW 2024, I served as the executive co-producer and creative director for Domus Ex Machina, ICON’s largest public event to date. With nearly 3,000 attendees, the event showcased ICON’s latest technological advancements through a meticulously designed experience—blending storytelling, stage design, animation, and visual spectacle to captivate audiences and solidify ICON’s position as an industry leader.
