I see the world in full-spectrum color. Its vibrant green landscape and bold cobalt skies seem charged with energy and life. I love the yellow-orange sun that rises over my bedroom window and warms me with its golden glow. I am left speechless by fiery oranges and whispering purples that spatter the evening sunsets. I delight in the rose-gold glasses that frame my green eyes. Even the stone gray pavement and sandy concrete walls can be a canvas for reflection.

ColorThisWorld Communications is a creative communications consultancy dedicated to building a healthier, more just, and more vibrant world. Through a commitment to values-based messaging, dynamic storytelling, meaningful public engagement, and communications that strengthen equity and inclusion, I help purpose-driven organizations and initiatives working for positive change be the force for good they want to be in the world.
THE POSSIBILITIES
After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it?
I am proud to be part of LightBox Collaborative, a dynamic team of communications consultants helping non-profits, philanthropies, and do-gooders do better.
I am a communications professional, a storyteller, a poet, an artist, a graphic designer, a community relations reveler, a technology wiz-kid, a singer-songwriter and piano keys tickler, a philosopher and theologian, a cultural explorer, and a soul who wants to be a force for good in the world and help others do the same.
I've been serving the non-profit and philanthropic sectors for more than 20 years, helping to shape narratives and advance action on a range of causes — from environmental conservation to public health, education, affordable housing, democracy and human rights, community well-being, and the practical application of social science research. I believe in using my creative energies to lift up stories and ideas that convey substance, arouse meaning, and inspire positive change.
My communications abilities stretch from the tactical to the strategic. My work spans everything from developing communications strategies and shaping narratives around key issues to engaging audiences through graphic design and visual storytelling, writing, producing videos, developing brand identities, creating and maintaining websites, composing and performing music, and more. I’ve earned my accreditation in public relations (APR) and welcome the chance to apply my expertise in building and maintaining relationships with your organization’s important audiences and stakeholders.
and I’m the brains (and the heart) behind this operation.
