Knowing how to use my dyslexic thinking helps me manage complexity.

As a freelancer who works across different departments and disciplines, handling large and complex projects can be overwhelming at times.

  • Assess the available information at my own pace
  • Identify patterns through all the inputs I have access to
  • Use my learning to find a clear way to communicate my findings.

I used to consider my dyslexia as a problem, but I now view it as an advantage that allows me to bring clarity to the projects I work on.
