Helping mission-driven organizations unlock their creative potential through collaborative design, systems thinking, and experiential learning.

Creative Collaborations

We support visionary teams and changemakers who want to do things differently—and need the tools, language, and mindset to make it happen. From education to nonprofit to startup spaces, we help organizations move from we have an idea to we made it real—with clarity, cohesion, and creativity.Our work is always collaborative, human-centered, and guided by values. Whether leading workshops, designing learning systems, or prototyping new frameworks, we work shoulder-to-shoulder with you to shape something that fits your vision.

Creative Facilitation & Workshops

We design and lead dynamic, experiential sessions that unlock creativity, deepen trust, and build collaborative momentum. Our workshops are crafted to foster psychological safety, stretch thinking, and generate bold ideas — whether for team retreats, conferences, leadership programs, or community labs.

Past experiences:

  • A 2-day corporate retreat using design exercises to build creative culture

  • A design workshop for disabled youth reframing adaptive design as possibility

  • PD sessions for STEM recruitment teams on critique culture and experiential learning

Strategy & Transformation

We help you clarify your purpose, align your systems, and design forward-thinking strategies that actually work for humans. Through participatory design and systems thinking, we guide teams through transitions, inflection points, and long-term transformation — always centering equity, learning, and culture.

In practice:

  • Strategic advising for an education nonprofit transforming

  • Organizational review and onboarding strategy for a fast-scaling nonprofit

  • Coaching a robotics startup on integrating creativity into engineering workflows

Learning Experience Design

We build transformative learning environments that align pedagogy, process, and tools — whether for youth, educators, or adult learners. From training programs to evaluation systems, we design learning experiences that support real-world engagement, clarity of purpose, and measurable growth.

What it looks like:

  • A 6-month experiential course for educators, paired with a lightweight LMS

  • Advising an online learning community on templates and framework standardization

  • Designing a digital resource hub for a bodywork school’s accreditation process

Curriculum Development

We create full-spectrum, experience-based curriculum tailored to your goals — from immersive museum programs to full-year school initiatives. Our work includes lesson design, facilitation guides, learning materials, and educator training, all grounded in best practices and creative process.

Work in action:

  • Full curriculum development for design-based high school programs

  • Creative PD offerings for educators across subject areas

  • Custom training programs for nonprofits, community orgs, and creative teams

  • Programming for museum exhibitions

What You Know

(Even if you can’t yet name it)

We have a vision.
We believe there’s a better way to work.
We want to truly innovate — together.We feel the friction.
We know it’s time to evolve.
We’re excited to explore what’s next.We have a big idea — and we know we need support.
We want to make bold change, not just tweak the edges.

We help turn those feelings into action — through a process rooted in reflection, creativity, and collaboration.We begin with what’s real:
the friction, the questions, the hunch that something more is possible.You don’t need to have the answers — just the sense that something needs to shift.
That’s where our process begins.From insight to integration, our four-part framework helps teams move from idea to action — and stay aligned for the long haul.

How We Work Together

Clarify What Matters

We begin by reviewing your materials and listening deeply.Through reflection and dialogue, we identify the core values, tensions, and opportunities already embedded in your work.

Reflect & Reveal

We ask big (and small) questions to surface what’s emerging.Our process helps teams get unstuck by revealing new ways of seeing and naming what they’re trying to do.

Align through experience

We lead collaborative workshops to build shared language and buy-in.Alignment isn’t just strategy—it’s relationship. We create space for teams to connect and shape the work together.

Tend the work

We support integration and iteration across your org or offering.We don’t disappear—we nurture the shift. Ongoing coaching and check-ins help the work take root and evolve with you.

We don’t drop in, fix, and vanish. We collaborate, coach, & build capacity
so the work continues long after we leave.
