Meet Our Team
We are a collective of freelance strategists & designers. Some of us have worked together for years & others come from partnerships we've built with creative shops.
Together, we are driven to help our clients in their missions to make the world a better place.
Below is our core team. Every project we do engages the right combination of team members from this core team and our broader collective.

A strong believer in continually building power and capacity, Cecili has trained thousands of campaigners on how to maximize their impact within their organizations and in the world at large.
