I am using #Substack as my website until I can move to my own domain. I am still working on my main streams of business: I write about my experiences as a professional qualitative researcher, policy analyst, futurist, and systems designer. #mgmtconsulting #r&d #design

Not only do I create learning design and development resources, I also crochet. As a researcher, I crochet bookmarks to hide in library books and sell. Here they are at a recent #Toronto Sunday Market at #TheParkdaleHall! I'm looking at you #booksky 📚💙
