Sarah Mummah

Dr. Mummah is a Behavioral Scientist, Senior Designer at IDEO, and Lecturer at Stanford University's Institute of Design (d.school). She believes insights from behavioral science are key to innovation and speaks to corporate leaders and entrepreneurs about how we might use design thinking and behavioral science to drive innovation, growth, and positive impact in the world.
