Strategic Consulting, Community-Engaged Public Art Strategy, and Restorative Practices
With over 15 years of experience in community and public art strategy and a specialized background in restorative practices, I partner with organizations, institutions, and individual artists to transform how communities build and learn together. My consulting practice is rooted in the "WITH" framework—a methodology designed to move beyond transactional engagement and conventional models, toward genuine, collaborative inquiry.
Whether you are an organization developing restorative frameworks, community-led art programs, and public murals, or an individual creative seeking career strategy and guidance in an upcoming project, I offer customized consulting that builds capacity and demystifies the creative process.
