Facilitation and Experience Design
Big challenges demand collective solutions. Through skilled facilitation and experience design, I focus on creating the conditions for people to come together across sectors, perspectives, and lived experiences to find common ground and move forward together. Whether facilitating ongoing collaboration or designing a one-time convening, I help groups think beyond traditional modes to create meaningful and transformative experiences.
Facilitation and Experience Design
Whether guiding a cross-sector coalition, launching a collective impact initiative, or planning an important event, I prioritize building trust, sparking alignment, and translating collaboration into action. I focus on the big and small details to create transformative experiences over the short- and long-term. My facilitation services include:
Convening and facilitating multi-sector collaborations and collective impact initiatives
Guiding coalition-building efforts across organizations and communities
Leading strategic conversations that surface diverse perspectives and align priorities
Designing experiences to maximize participation, spur collaboration, and ignite momentum
Featured Projects: Facilitation and Experience Design
Transforming Narratives of Gun Violence
2021-2024
Transforming Narratives of Gun Violence (TNGV) is a collaborative initiative which seeks to disrupt harmful narratives about gun violence by co-creating art and media that uplift community-based solutions for peace and justice. Through TNGV, students, faculty, artists, and media-makers work alongside communities most impacted by violence using collaborative methods of design and storytelling. TNGV has created over a dozen art and media artifacts.
Peoples Collaborative Governance Network
2020-2021
PCGN was a multi-sector, multi-disciplinary initiative that applied co-design methods and collaborative governance structures to center community experience in the exploration and development of novel solutions to pressing issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. Made up of residents, elected and government staff and officials, nonprofit leaders, artists, students, and academic researchers, this initiative resulted in several meaningful projects to address digital access and equity, food insecurity, equitable engagement, and more. Several of these projects have evolved and persisted within the partner organizations.
