Typewriters: One Key Magically Expanded the Page

Innovation-based skill-building can help organizations release the margins on the team habits, programs, beliefs or funding models that no longer serve their best interests. We work to help teams find and implement the right changes for their culture, mission and goals.

“Embrace the change; once you do you can learn about the new world you’re in and take advantage of it.”

– Nikki Giovanni

On a Mission to Be a Better Consultant

Consulting most intuitively describes what we do, but we prefer words like collaborating, facilitating, guiding, advising and thought partnering to describe the spirit of our engagements.

Our work is always tailored to your needs, goals and organizational context and designed to produce practical, actionable outcomes.

Project, workshop and recurring support models offer choice and cost-effective flexibility.

Specialized Support, On Demand

For certain projects we may partner with:

  • Quantitative or qualitative research practitioners
  • Curatorial or exhibition specialists
  • Developers or engineers
  • Skill-specific trainers

With this approach clients receive the boutique attention of a solo practice with the stretch and scale capacities of a larger organization
