This Must Be the Place

SeanCranbury

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 have spent roughly twenty years directing communications and organizational development for nonprofits, professional associations, nerd bars, and arts organizations. I have served as an advisor to influential cultural organizations like the BC Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts for programs related to strategic planning and national funding initiatives.

Sympathetic Technology Constant Resonance Web Design For Authors

My recent work in healthcare and culture industries has lead me to working and building with AI, specifically frontier models like Codex, Claude, Gemini and others. I have built strategies for private local model tools and worked with nonprofit organizations to create safe, practical, policy-informed deployments of AI for distributed teams.

I hold three certifications in AI from Harvard Medical School - Health Care Transformation, AI in Health Care: From Strategies to Implementation, and Leading Digital Transformation in Health Care.

My private practice now splits into two separate streams:

  • Sympathetic Technology, a local integrated studio which helps to guide organizations through change management, AI governance and technology adoption.
  • Constant Resonance, a boutique advisory agency which helps authors to orient themselves within the often opaque and complicated world of book publishing, effectively market their work, and coach them through finishing and placing books.

And I build lots of websites for writers, small business, and nonprofits.

One project that I am particularly proud of is the Real Vancouver Writers' Series, a registered nonprofit society that supported emerging and established writers by organizing and promoting public readings and all sorts of cool collaborations from 2010 until late 2025. The writers, booksellers, volunteers, and Board of Directors of Real Vancouver made a significant contribution to the culture and the literary community of Vancouver and Canada. It was a real honour to work with those folks. To find out more, go here.
