I am a writer, designer, community-builder, and organizational development director who lives and works on the unceded ancestral lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.
I spent twenty years directing communications and organizational development for nonprofits, professional associations, nerd bars, and arts organizations before I started doing that work as an outside advisor.
My practice now splits into two separate streams: Sympathetic Technology, which helps to guide organizations through change management, AI governance and technology adaptation, and Constant Resonance, which helps authors to craft their public persona and coaches them through finishing and placing books.
And I build lots of websites.
I also spent fifteen years founding and running the Real Vancouver Writers' Series, and I am writing across a series of projects that do not touch on any of this stuff.
An integrated West Coast studio for technology, organizational development, and project strategy. We help nonprofit organizations, businesses, and individuals understand where they are, clarify where they want to be, and chart a confident course toward a sustainable and prosperous future.
