About Connection Design Co.
Founded by the creator of The Community Cooperative, this work builds on years of designing community experiences — now offered through focused, one-on-one connection design sessions. This work is grounded in years of designing, hosting, and stewarding community spaces — noticing what actually helps people connect, and what quietly gets in the way.
Today, I bring that experience into focused design partnerships and curated experiences — so connection isn’t left to chance.
What “Designing Connection” Actually Means
Sometimes connection does just happen and sometimes its needs help.
It’s shaped by space, timing, invitation, and structure.
My work lives at the intersection of community, design, and human experience.
Sometimes that looks like hosting or shaping gatherings you can attend.
Other times it looks like partnering with people who want to create the same depth of connection in their own spaces.

About Me.
I am a cultural anthropologist, mission-driven entrepreneur, and creator of The Community Cooperative; a community-building consultancy for mission-driven creators looking for support in planning their projects. My mission is to catalyze people towards genuine connections that are more than the transactional ones we encounter on a daily basis. The types of friendships we build in kindergarten, summer camp, and orientation in college are the ones that often feel the most real. We are in new environments where we show parts of ourselves we haven’t before and open to finding common ground. Through fun, conversation, and action we create space to being better individuals and better community members. I am constantly learning and I am excited to grow with this community.
