Empathy By Design

Our mission is to inspire empathy and inclusion for all genders within organizations using the art of digital and in-person storytelling. 

Our style is unique because I go beyond D&I tips and bring the audience into the lived experiences of marginalized groups. This inspires lasting change that impacts individuals and organizations for years.
