My name is Stephanie Gerson.  I'm a left-handed Mexican-Jewish Libra, born in the year of the Monkey and raised in the gorgeous San Francisco bay area.  I have somewhat of an obsession with blindness: showering in the dark, playing drum kit blindfolded, and eating Dans Le Noir.  I'm usually smiling and/or dancing.  I don’t know much about Magritte, but as you may have guessed, I like The Treachery of Images.  I develop strategies and design experiences that facilitate co-creative innovation and systems thinking.  The metaphor I use to describe my (and ultimately, our) work is that of the energy-generating playground: using what we already do as media for generating transformative fabulousness in the world.
