Creativity is how we make meaning, solve problems, and build culture.
I design creative, embodied experiences that help teams
collaborate, connect, and lead with confidence.
Where strategy meets imagination.
Workshops, facilitation, and retreats for educators, nonprofits, and values-driven organizations.
Creativity isn’t about being “artistic.”
It’s how we navigate complexity, adapt to change, and connect with each other.
Creativity supports:
Better problem-solving: Creative thinking unlocks new ideas and dissolves stuck patterns.
Wellbeing + mental health: Creative practices foster emotional resilience and reduce burnout.
Healthy culture: Art making builds trust, communication, and psychological safety.
Stronger alignment: Teams co-create shared language and vision, increasing buy-in and clarity.
When teams access creativity, they access their capacity to collaborate and thrive.
