Consulting
I act as a fractional CCO (Chief Creativity Officer) for companies, NGOs, and nonprofits experiencing organizational tension. I have special expertise in working with STEM (science, technology, education, and policy)-based organizations.
My toolkit involves creativity, editorial strategy, and masterful facilitation. The goal: To target a specific block or growth area that your team may face by moving into more creative modes of thinking.
Walk away with:
An unbreakable foundation for climbing the ladder toward concrete, lasting change that helps you stand strong when inevitable difficulties arise.
A changed company culture that prioritizes creative bravery, belonging, and safety
New approaches to inciting innovation and collaboration

“Using Alex’s process, I had so many breakthroughs and — even better—practical tools I’ve used ever since to help me break through my writing logjams. In just three sessions, she helped me build resilience to criticism and reframe the way I think about myself as a creative person. Alex helped me understand that it’s normal to struggle with writing, then used her creativity and experience to show me that I already had the tools I needed to get through it. There was one exercise where I had to physically remove an inner critic from my body – and pulling an imaginary ‘tapeworm’ out of my solar plexus really reduced my anxiety. Plus she was super fun to hang out with. I don’t want to give too much of her process away, because you have to experience it — layer by layer — yourself.”
“Alex is an outrageous and brilliant coach and consultant, and she made my work a lot of fun, too. She’s quick and to the point and called me out when necessary. Her coaching was invaluable to me in my business. I thought I knew what to do and she intuitively asked the right questions and found my weak points and helped me strengthen them. I always hated homework and I looked forward to hers, that’s how good she is. Since everything is psychologically intertwined, I needed a shaman thrown in there too, and Alex came through! I give her the highest recommendation and I am really picky.”
“I got to sit in on [a workshop] that blew my mind. We did the ‘Mathematics of Joy’ list beforehand. Then, we talked about how to bring those and other moments into our lives. She has a specific way of mapping it out that was really fun. I started to see things I was drawn to, and why. Most of my answers were about creating connection and space daily, while building in pockets of joy-filled experiences, going on adventures and finding new ways outside of writing to be creative. Like, paint more, even if it’s my front door. ”
