Creative Facilitation

Structuring and leading workshops, classes & events

I have 20 years of experience with creative facilitation: running immersive client workshops, creating visual recordings of conferences, facilitating creative training and teaching at the university level. Shaping creativity “in-the-moment” and using visual tools to engage and inspire participants is a studio specialty.
