Today we’re pleased to welcome Tamara Christensen, coming to us all the way from Kansas City!
Tamara most recently headed up design research and directed integrated innovation efforts at R&D/Leverage. In her last gig she learned to play nice with both designers and engineers, and provided their culture with a creative fuel-injection. In addition to her love of research, Tamara has a few serious crushes on facilitating and teaching. She has taught at the University of Kansas and Arizona State University and given workshops on research and creative problem solving. Tamara is currently passionate about helping her son design the (am)bush costume of his dreams for Halloween and speaking at the upcoming Oklahoma Creativity Forum on November 1.
We are giddy with excitement over Tamara’s arrival.
Welcome to the team, Tamara!

Congratulations Tamara!
You’ll love working with Steve and Julie – oh and Brody too …though he does tend to get fur all over the post-its when he does his affinity maps.
Comment by Wyatt 10.13.11 @ 11:03 amThanks Wyatt! I am loving it already. I think I’m going to use Brody as a mobile idea curator so I can just leave the post-its on him. (until Steve decides to bathe him of course)
