It Starts With The Mindset

We believe in a people-first approach to innovation.

What good is a solution when it is not being used?

Placing the users at the forefront, we don’t ask “What’s the problem?” We dive into why the problem exists and who is being affected.

We are startup people – our approach is heavily based on design thinking and lean startup principles.

Here is what some of our clients had to say about our work.

“As part of a Y2 Entrepreneurship Conference, David and Nafis facilitated a design-thinking workshop for the ~50 participants (high-school students). The participants found a lot of value in the session, and the learnings from the workshop helped them identify problems they wanted to solve and who was impacted, and in turn inspired them to build solutions that helped those people.

Dave and Nafis were very easy to work with – they focused on providing a top-notch experience for our conference participants, they let me (as the conference organizer) know what they had planned and took my feedback, and they leveraged their experiences in the broader startup entrepreneurial ecosystem in Toronto to bring real-life examples to the students.

I would recommend NuLens Innovation for anyone seeking down-to-earth, experienced and relatable instructors to design and lead design thinking programs for participants of all ages!
