Hi, I’m Tianna Arredondo.

I’m an interdisciplinary researcher, strategist, facilitator, coach, and creative practitioner building tools, experiences, and systems of care for people and communities navigating complexity, transition, and change. For more than a decade, I’ve led research, programs, partnerships, trainings, and community-centered initiatives across environmental justice, higher education, philanthropy, national advocacy networks, and interdisciplinary care spaces.

My expertise spans qualitative and mixed-methods research, program and systems design, leadership development, facilitation, partnership strategy, accessible learning, and translating complex information into tools people can actually use. Across my career, I’ve supported national networks and hundreds of leaders and organizations, built research and resource systems from hundreds of sources and relationships, and advised work ranging from grassroots campaigns to multimillion-dollar philanthropic initiatives.

Alongside this work, I spent nearly a decade as an independent scholar focusing on sociology, psychology, and medical anthropology, paying particular attention to gaps in care and understanding for people like me: neurodivergent, sensitive, deeply curious, nerdy, enthusiastic beings. I’ve also worked as a nature guide and lifelong outdoorist, helping people get outside, have fun, learn through direct experience, and connect with the natural world.

I began filling the gaps I noticed with practical tools I wished existed.

Today, that practice includes my Genuinely Curious Framework; 7 published self-healing decks; journaling guides, essays, poetry, sound, and film; interdisciplinary research and storytelling; workshops and curricula; and end-of-life work. At the center of it all is one question:

How can we build ways of living, relating, creating, learning, and caring for one another that actually account for who people are?
