Educator to Founder
I spent over a decade designing learning experiences across classrooms and boardrooms. Now, I design a different kind of education and it’s for the people rebuilding their life in real time.
The In-Between
I’ve struggled with “titles” and “labels” all my life, and this one was especially hard to nail down. But I’m now claiming interdisciplinary artist, educator and founder whose practice explores identity, transition, self-abandonment and the unfinished middle of becoming.
Working across documentary conversation, sound, portraiture, writing, social practice and participatory experience, I create resources, media and environments in which lived experience can become material for individual reflection and collective inquiry.
My practice grew across nearly two decades of education, wellness, facilitation, tech-enabled services, storytelling and community-building. Stepping outside traditional professional structures allowed me to recognize those methods as one creative language and to reclaim greater authorship over where and how they could live.
Through Creator-in-Residence partnerships, I bring that practice into aligned brands, institutions, places and communities.
I’m also the Founder of The Exit Strategy Network, a developing ecosystem exploring how impact professionals in transition can translate lived experience, professional wisdom and creative intelligence into compensated public value and more regenerative ways of living and working.
What I Do Now
Creator-In-Residence
A Creator-in-Residence is what happens when a host brand wants more than visibility. It wants trust. My work blends strategy, education, storytelling, and experience design to help CIR partners build a more human-centered culture and then turn that work into resources people actually use.
The Exit Strategy Network™
Millions of people are underpaid, overextended, emotionally depleted and praised for enduring what is exhausting them. The Exit Strategy Network™ exists for people who are done calling that normal.
This is not a motivation movement.
It’s a structure: practice, rhythm, resources, and community so people can rebuild a life that’s actually livable. This is the world. This is the why. This is what’s coming.
I teach a simple, repeatable practice for returning home to self:
“How do you want an audience to go home after seeing you? I want people to go home with a working mind. As long as they’re thinking, they won’t be apathetic.”
