Aimee Vue
SESSION: Play & Practice in Creativity: Using Improv Principles in Design Thinking
Aimee Vue is a Senior Consultant at Fathom Consulting, and her secret weapon is empathy. “Consulting brings you into contact with a range of people,” she says, “and as long as we’re in this specific relationship, we may as well have fun.”
She’s worked with non-profits and Fortune 500 companies to solve problems through human-centered facilitation, research, and design. Not your typical consultant, Aimee’s curiosity about people—and everything else—has led her to roles in community impact, policy, and startups, where she’s had opportunities to nudge the world toward what it should be.

Whether you're a C-level leader or a freelance sole proprietor, hearing directly from outside experts can enrich your perspective.
This summit brings independent voices together to share new insights, connect you with experts, and unlock new ideas.
