hi hello!

Hi, I’m Emily!

I love connecting the dots between people, places and things. Whether it’s through art, games, recipes, storytelling or creative placemaking---my heart really brims when making meaning in togetherness.

For the past 16 years, I’ve had some wide ranging creative opportunities working with museums, libraries, marketplaces, schools, cities, public media organizations and zoom rooms world wide.

Kind Words

“Emily is a connector. A joiner. A bridge-builder. She offered us all a safe place to unplug from the daily grind. She made the world feel more human and smaller.”

-John, Creative Mornings Global

“Emily created and led programs at the museum that continue to make a difference in our community today. She developed family programs, redesigned our educational school tours, and launched a new youth-led teen program. Emily’s ability to push creative boundaries, share energy, and welcome visitors always inspired me and fellow staff members.”

-Nina, Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History

“Emily did an outstanding job creating a sense of safety & belonging during her session with EforAll. She brought an infectious energy to our time together with our entrepreneurs that left everyone buzzing with positivity and asking for more time with her. If you're looking for someone to facilitate an incredible session that enhances connection and leaves everyone with a smile on their face: hire Emily.”

-Harris, EforAll

“Hands down I would highly recommend Emily if you're looking to develop a creative project that engages your community members. I've collaborated with Emily to develop social media projects to increase participation and interactions with our digital followers at History Colorado. We worked on these projects during the pandemic so flexibility and innovation were key to our work. Emily proved to be the right person to partner with during this time: she's creative, fun, adaptable, and socially aware.”

-Brooke, History Colorado
