Sean founded Map and Territory to help people see more clearly, think more creatively, and act with care in times of change. His work blends futures thinking, design, systems practice, and human-centered learning to support meaningful change.

Sean collaborates with teams across Canada to imagine new possibilities, make sense of uncertainty, and design learning experiences that connect strategy to lived experience. He creates spaces for reflection, experimentation, and shared learning with an approach that is warm, tactfully provocative, and rigorously curious.

Alongside his consulting practice, Sean teaches health design and futures thinking at McMaster University, McGill University, and the University of Toronto, where he works with leaders and learners exploring how care, governance, and systems might evolve.

Sean holds a PhD in Arts Education, Curriculum Theory and Implementation and has certifications in solution-focused coaching, Warm Data Labs, Integral Facilitation, and creative problem-solving. He is an alum-in-residence of the Stanford d.school Teaching and Learning Studio. Sean is a recipient of the 2024 McMaster President’s Award for Outstanding Contributions to Teaching and Learning and was part of the team awarded the national Alan Blizzard Award for excellence in collaborative teaching by the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
