WHO I AM
As a Facilitator
I am an animator, multimedia artist, and improv performer with a decade of experience leading creative groups — including five years of longform narrative improv and live drawing on stage. My purpose as a facilitator is to help creative teams unlock ideas, bridge art with collaborative problem-solving, and share a joy for improvisation as a pathway to connection.
My Current + Future Purpose
My purpose as a facilitator is to bring those practices into the room: helping creative teams unlock the ideas already within them, bridging art and design with collaborative problem-solving, and sharing a hard-won joy for improvisation as a pathway to connection. I believe creativity is a muscle, and the right environment makes all the difference.
Certification Purpose
My goal is to design signature workshop experiences for creative agencies, nonprofits, and tech teams. To create spaces where structure and spontaneity coexist, and where the group builds something truer together than any one person could alone. Longform improv taught me that the best stories emerge when people feel safe enough to build on each other’s offers.
My Strengths
Visual Storytelling & Graphic Facilitation
As an animator and live-drawing performer, I think in symbolic metaphors and translate complex ideas visually. I use graphic recording, visual frameworks, and image-based prompts to ensure every participant can contribute fully.
Adapting in the Moment
A decade of improv performance has made real-time adaptation second nature. I read a room the way a performer reads a scene: noticing what is offered, withheld, and needed. I know how to invite people into play, dissolve self-consciousness, and create the conditions where ‘there are no wrong answers’
Designing Engaging Workshop Experiences
I approach session design the way I approach a short film; with a clear arc, emotional beats, and a payoff. I carefully sequence activities to build energy, trust, and momentum, making the experience feel cohesive rather than transactional.
Growth Areas
Structured Conflict Mediation
My background leans toward generative, creative processes. I am learning to hold space for disagreement more deliberately — to sit with productive tension rather than redirecting it into creative activity too quickly.
Deep Listening & Check-In
I am cultivating more disciplined practices around responsive check-ins and formative assessment during sessions, so I can gauge participant needs in real time rather than relying solely on my read of group energy.
Deepening knowledge of facilitation frameworks and methodologies
Facilitating for corporate and tech teams requires fluency in organizational language and business framing. I am expanding my toolkit to bridge creative and analytical worldviews more fluidly.
Make Your Mark
Drawing Improv Workshop
Many people who want to draw are stopped by self-consciousness and comparison. Even working artists can become rigid, disconnected from spontaneity. This workshop addresses an underserved gap: the interplay between drawing and live performance.
This two-day workshop is designed for all skill levels to foster thinking visually and explore the relationship between drawing and performing. A confident line springs from the the same commitment to an improvised choice on stage.
