Kasey Mitchell

Kasey loves to turn skeptics into believers. Whether facilitating a prototyping workshop or using design thinking to connect with her clients, Kasey knows innovation requires keeping an open heart and mind when developing solutions with others, and most importantly, listening to their voices every step along the way. Before working at Peer Insight, Kasey launched an internal innovation team for a large national nonprofit, where she drove the strategic development and testing of new ideas in pursuit of creative solutions to end childhood hunger. From designing an online grants system for users who never used a computer before to co-creating a meal delivery service in rural America, Kasey has continuously refined her innovation toolkit by embracing the notion that you have to get your idea in front of users to test assumptions early and often. She has also designed and facilitated design thinking and prototyping workshops for the USDA, Feeding America and School Nutrition Association. Kasey holds a BA in Environmental Economics and Policy from Scripps College.
