Marie Jasinski, Director, Design Planet, Australia

A Tribute

We've been saddened to learn that Marie passed away on January 21, 2008 due to cancer. Marie was a wonderful mentor who guided many people in their professional and personal life. She was also a creative thinker; she had the amazing ability to synthesize powerful ideas from different disciplines. She contributed a wealth of new knowledge to the innovation field through her work. Perhaps even more importantly, Marie had the courage to love profoundly.

Marie was especially proud of the results of her last research project called: Life-based Learning: A Strength-based Approach to Capability Development.
