“Big Thinking” Services
I create strategic visions for organizations informed by the real needs of the people they hope to reach. I dig into research and nuance, facilitate complex conversations, and use the insights we uncover to write stories that move people and create roadmaps to new ways of practicing. Always, I develop supportive team ecologies to help my teams and collaborators grow and make work they believe in.
