how we support you + your ideas

Idea Partnerships

Our immediate, and always running, vehicle for change, is activating and executing our ideas.

We are your partner in turning bold ideas into tangible impact.  Whether you're designing your future, reimagining your community, or evolving your business, our partnerships meet you where you are and propel you into building what's next.

Purpose Prototype

personal design visioning retreat

Instead of making vision boards (too big picture and unactionable) and rigid five-year plans (overwhelming action plans will make you take no action at all) - we should design purpose prototypes™.  During this 2-day immersive, self-guided retreat, we will map out your unique path to impact, minus the pressure of getting everything "perfect." Think of it as a living, breathing vision blueprint for your most meaningful life—where you're the architect, and iteration is your creative fuel.

Concept Catalyst

30-day idea development sprint

This is where we turn your big, scary, "maybe I'm crazy but what if..." idea into a concrete, validated action plan. During this 30-day collaborative sprint, you’ll select your most promising idea from your visioning work inside Purpose Prototype (no more guessing which idea you should pursue), brainstorm transformational elements to deepen and strengthen your idea, and ultimately merge the most impactful elements into your final concept to implement after the sprint.

The Visionist

This audio newsletter is your weekly permission slip to dream and reconnect with the vision inside you.

Your vision isn’t as deep or impactful as it could be because you’ve been limiting it to annual vision board parties full of wine and good intentions.

Every week we’ll explore a thought-provoking new prompt, concept, technique, or tool designed to spark transformative ideas. This isn’t just about ideating, it’s about reimagining the life you want to create and the impact you want to make.

    (Don’t worry - our spaces and your inbox will always be free of mental clutter).
