“ I met Laura while participating in RBCx - an internal innovation challenge at the bank. Laura, with Highline BETA, led a week-long bootcamp on design thinking & lean startup. This was my first introduction to this style of research/development and Laura made it accessible and fun. Laura was always available for ongoing support through the 9 week program and my team leaned on her skills/experience greatly. It was a pleasure working with Laura and I hope our paths cross again soon!”

She blends integrity, creativity and logic/planning based skill sets across the spectrum of the design process which makes her an integral partner for both our client & venture initiatives. Her capacity was particularly on display through the leadership role she quickly developed for our Kids x Tech community of which she’s an integral leader and champion. ”

Laura is hardworking and skilled writer who also conducts detailed interviews. I would not hesitate to work with Laura again should the opportunity provide itself.”
