  In her role as the lead for frogCamp, Turi leads the development of frog’s design process and creative collaboration processes across frog’s global studios, and with frog’s clients. Turi was the lead editor for the new frogThink Toolkit and the frog Design Research Fundamentals, along with other frog experts.
