This practice focuses on thoughtful design and strategy grounded in people, place, and purpose. The work begins by listening with empathy and understanding the systems shaping everyday experiences before offering direction.
What I Work With
I work alongside leaders and organization navigating complexity, transition, and long-term responsibilty. The practice is well suited to situations where clarity is needed, where systems feel misaligned, or where decisions will have a lasting impact.
How the Work Unfolds
Each engagement unfolds differently, shaped by contect and need. The work often moves through a rythm of listening, inquiry, insight, and integration, allowing direction to emerge rather than be imposed.
Where the Practice Shows Up
This practice spans sectors including community development, food systems, tourism, education, and economic development. While the settings vary, the work consistently centers people, place, and purpose.
Ways of Working
Engagements may take the form of listening and discovery processes, strategic design work, writing and narrative development, or time-bound teaching and speaking. Each collaboration is shaped in conversation, with care for pace and intention.
If you’re exploring work that calls for thoughtful design and steady attention, I welcome a conversation.
