Her engagements run the gamut from ethnographic research to sustainable business strategy, naming, positioning and development of communication platforms for Tomorrow’s wide range of clients.

Partner | Innovation
Tomorrow Partners

A leader, big thinker and dot connector, Jeremy wields creative strategy for lasting change.

Read More

Jeremy connects the dots between business and design. He leads Tomorrow’s innovation endeavors, reimagining experiences, services and business models with our broad spectrum of clients—helping teams translate strategy into actionable ideas.

Jeremy spent the first decade of his career client-side at the likes of Nike, Patagonia and J. Crew so he understands what it takes to create real impact from the inside. And his tenure heading up global brand strategy, service design and branded environment initiatives at Ziba Design and his own consultancy, Colab, make him a master at engaging people, extending a brand’s reach, and hatching plans that match a team’s capacity.

Growing up in Apartheid-era South Africa gave Jeremy a deep social conscience and a drive to use design for positive change. He is an advisory board member for the Alabama Innovation Engine and a frequent facilitator for AIGA’s Design for Good initiatives. His approach to innovation is just like his cooking—free form and full of flavor, but rooted in tradition and technique.
