Every business has different problems, and every problem requires slightly different strategic skills. Leading research, collaborating with stakeholders, designing roadmaps, and facilitating workshops are just some of the skills I’ve deployed for clients ranging from national healthcare networks to local housing nonprofits.

For the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management, recruitment was a tough nut to crack. I led the research behind and crafting of three viable strategic directions for their national messaging.

Mni Sota Fund is a Minneapolis community development group that helps indigenous Minnesotans achieve homeownership. I collaborated with a team to help build a new creative platform for their mortgage lending sub-brand.

The McKnight Foundation, a major philanthropy organization, asked for assistance in refining some strategic communications. I conducted twelve expert interviews and advised on a new communication direction.
