genuinely curious

my biggest insecurities growing up was surrounding having to ask questions in a group setting or sharing my art. i would be met with pretty overwhelming interrogations: why are you asking this, now?, what did you expect would come from this?, what is prompting this question?, and my personal favorite - can you wait and think about that later? my response always remained the same regardless of the situation - because i’m genuinely curious.

i didn’t always have the context to explain my ideation process, i just knew that asking instead of assuming not only clears up potential misunderstandings - it also creates sustainable change. i love what i do as a consultant, coach and creative director. i’m able to create solutions that keep in mind accessibility, sustainability, and personal fulfillment. i’m able to address the complexities and connections that otherwise get overlooked. my offerings incorporate practices and principles that address climate change adaption, mitigation and reparation - while also supporting individual healing and empowerment.
