About Ja’dan

I launched my first business at age 15; and fell in love with the process of self discovery.

My work lives at the intersection of social impact, creative strategies, and technology. I’ve seen my journey as a ‘serial path to self-discovery’. From leading a national campaign on climate change awareness to mobilizing a community that delivered over 18m PPE to local communities during the COVID-19 crisis, I bring my skills as a problem solver, designer and creative to drive results

I’m an IDEO and IBM trained

Enterprise Design facilitator.

I’ve completed the full suite of IBM’s Enterprise Design training programs. Enterprise Design Thinking is IBM’s approach to applying design thinking at the speed & scale a modern enterprise demands. It helps our teams not only form intent but deliver outcomes – outcomes that advance the state of the art and improve the lives of the people they serve.

In the Press

My work has been featured in over 50 different articles from international press outlets.

Projects my teams have produced have been featured across top-tier national, tech, business and youth press. Notable features included Time Magazine, Forbes, Vice News, Reuters, Newsweek and many others.
