Hi-

I’m Katharine Cornfield, and I am really excited to be joining the conversation at TEDxCarletonU.

I am a local lifestyle blogger, a community enthusiast and a dedicated design thinker. I’m inspired by innovation, crazy about creativity and I thrive on change. I spent 10 years as a political advisor to federal ministers and 6 as a manager in the public service, and I recently decided ditch it all to become a full-time funding-poor entrepreneur. So far, I have had absolutely no use for my detailed knowledge of government machinery, but I do suffer from prolonged bouts of happiness, a sustained sense of motivation and frequent moments of awesome clarity.

Also, I am by no means scientifically-minded or technologically savvy. So, for those of you who are looking to test your ideas, concepts or cockamamie schemes on a real live layperson with years of experience “filtering”, I hope you will come and find me!

Until tomorrow,
Katharine
