Let’s make some magic
Working Witch is a monthly drop-in gathering for experience designers, creatives, and conjurers who want community and creative support for the work they're making.
Each session includes creative exercises, paired conversations, and shared ritual designed to help you see your project more clearly and move it forward. One participant is selected each month to step into the center of the circle — and receive the full energy of the group behind their work.
Bring a project at any stage. Leave with momentum.
Second Sundays, 6–7:30pm PST. By donation.

Creative Companionship is a container for honing the blade of your brightest ideas. You come with a dream for an experiential project and together we'll sharpen it into something you're ready to bring into the waking world.
What we do together
Three 90-minute sessions that weave together deep listening, somatic exercises, and experience design frameworks — creating the conditions for your vision to snap into focus.
Why I do this work
I have spent years walking alongside creatives as they bring their visions into the world. I know firsthand how rare and precious it is to have someone in your corner who truly believes in what you're making — someone who will ask the right questions, hold the space, and help you hear what your work is trying to become. That's what I'm here to do.

Ordinary Magic & The Art of Experience Design is a 6 week initiation in making moments that matter.
Before you can design gatherings that move people, you need to know what it feels like to be moved. So we begin there — with experiences you design for your own life and community.
You'll create an experience for yourself, then for someone you love. Then for a small group. By the end of the course, you'll have traveled a full arc of the craft — from the most intimate scale to the principles that bring rooms full of people to life. The same design intelligence that makes a perfect evening for one person is what makes a festival feel alive.
This course shows you how those scales connect and provides a framework for creating moments people will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Over 6 weeks, we'll:
✨ Build the foundations of experience design from the ground up, not with theory, but with applied practice
✨ Design at three scales — for yourself, for someone you love, and for a group
✨ Explore creative constraints, design frameworks, and emotional intelligence practices that you can apply to any experience you create, at any scale
✨ Discover how intimate design thinking scales into large, unforgettable experiences
