Meet the team
Like most good things, Deep Play is the result of a great team and a little bit of obsession about finding a healthier, more effective way of getting things done.
In a word, Adam is a storyteller. With a background in applied design, his practice today crosses boundaries from design and strategy to education and consulting. His work ranges from experience design and strategy with New York based Openshop, teaching strategic design, with a focus on economics and organizations, at Parsons School of Design, strategic real estate development consulting with Threshold and coaching through Deep Play, which introduces design thinking as a model of practice to organizations and emerging leaders.
