Strategic brand development and mapping, for Indigenous Designs, Sustainable Apparel

"Our expectations were not just met but they were exceeded. We understand that we are not being asked to grade this individual but for the record Katrina receives an A+ for her work here with Indigenous. We were very proud to have had her working on the team. Matt and I feel that we have been left with a boil down “base line tool” that allows us to reflect on who we are as a brand and how we want to reach outward in our communications in regards to our brand. We have a compass around this work …  if you will."

Facilitated Organizational Restructuring with the Kingian NonViolence Peace Center

"I think the first thing to note is the ease with which we were able to work with you.  Our director doesn't always like being in meetings and working with facilitators, but he seemed to really enjoy and appreciate your work as did Michelle and I. I think it was just helpful to lay out everything we are doing in the format you did it in.  We kind of knew we were maybe taking on too much, but just putting it all down on paper and seeing it visually gives us a better sense of what to prioritize, which I think is helpful.  Now that all the pieces are up on the paper, we can start to put it all together.  I think it will help us understand our roles better, understand how better utilize volunteers, etc. Thank you again for everything.  Hope to work with you again sometime!"
