You want to transform something big.

So you’re not afraid of change. On the contrary, you’re eager for it. What are you looking to transform? Your life? Your relationships? Your work? Your team? Our social justice system? Capitalism? The climate? How big are you thinking? What perspectives do you need to start gathering?

Next Steps

If you have a great idea that needs to move from the abstract to the concrete, or a terrific solution that should be working but isn’t, I can help. I write and design, but most importantly I question and I listen until I understand the shape of the whole... and can thus make the creative leap to crafting the parts and steps required to get there. Whether you want to hone your mission, reach a constituency, sell a product, communicate your vision, test your assumptions through research, establish the workflow for a product or program, or make data speak, I help translate your genius. I look forward to our conversation about what you need.

Hours & contact info

While I’m on Eastern Standard Time, I work remotely with clients and teams all over the world. I use tools like Slack, InVision, Zeplin, Jira, Zoom, and Skype to keep communication flowing and get deadlines met. There’s crucial change that has to happen now regarding climate action, sustainability, and racial / economic / environmental justice, all of which require a wholesale retooling of the way we live. If you’re working to make change happen, I’d love to hear from you.
