consulting  &  facilitation

I help people work together beautifully.

As a facilitator, I create and implement processes that center the power and creativity of the group.

My experience comes from a decade in grassroots organizing, community art, nonprofits, schools, and collective projects. I believe that a good process can feel like alchemy - transforming a jumble of ideas, personalities, and constraints into a cohesive whole. This alchemy requires planning, creativity, and presence.

My style as a facilitator is warm, structured, adaptable, and attuned. I center racial, gender, and economic justice. I strive for function, authenticity, and integrity over perfection.

I also offer graphic recording - see below for more information. My books are open for Fall 2024.

What is graphic recording?

I do graphic recording and facilitation with Philly-based graphic facilitation agency Illustrating Progress.
