Bernice Hsu, Content & Strategy
Bernice believes in good design and its ability to elegantly solve problems and make our world a simpler, more delightful place. At its heart, good design is rooted in a multi-dimensional understanding of a problem from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives in order to thoughtfully design a solution that fits each problem's unique nooks and crannies.
During her 2+ years in strategy consulting, she has enjoyed investigating business problems across industries (including technology, healthcare, and consumer products), then designing and iterating on strategic solutions to help clients reduce inefficiencies, innovate, and grow into the future.
