Accidental Innovation – The Microwave Oven
Many of the inventions we have now started out as accidents. One accidental innovation was the microwave oven. We take it for granted when we want a quick cooked meal, popcorn or a warmed over slice of pizza from the night before. It's easy to wonder how we ever lived...
Innovation Through Biomimicry – How Shrimp Can Save Lives and Planet
As a futurist and innovation keynote speaker I like to make innovation simple and easily accessible so that anyone can do it. Nothing is more accessible than nature, yet the vastness of what's possible in innovation through biomimicry, (using nature to solve problems)...
Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation

Why the Manufacturing Industry Needs Diversity
I've worked in many male dominated industries, from being an innovation keynote speaker to being an inventor to being a manufacturer. Quite often I'm the only woman in the room, but I've never felt left out of the conversation. Most men I've worked with welcome a...
