Research Services, Coaching and Consulting for
Educators, Nonprofits
and
Game and Fandom Creators
My Approach
We are a boutique consultancy offering data, research, strategy and coaching for tabletop creators, educators, non-profits and social change organizations with a particular focus on how new and emerging technologies impact these sectors.
Nonprofits and Activist Organizations
Many activists and social movement organizations get started with a dream and a desire to make change, but find that there are many barriers in their way. I have a wealth of both academic and applied experience in social change and activism. From my doctorate in social movements to my involvement with community and civil society causes since the 1990’s I am equipped to help you grow your organization and move your cause forward.
Tabletop Gaming and Fandoms
Are you a creator in the table top gaming or fandom scene looking to better understand how you can improve your project? I’ve worked in the industry since 2001 and am a multi ENnie and Origins award winning designer, author and publisher. I also have experience teaching game design and in the cultural histories of many ‘nerd’ subcultures. Let me assist you on your current or future projects. Check out my service offerings for more information.
Educators
The wealth of new products, platforms, services and apps that are meant to help educators often do the opposite, overwhelming even the savviest of teachers. This is where I can help. I’ve taught in K-6, high school, small and large colleges and universities as well as in adult education programs. I also worked in a privately funded lab that examined the effects of new technologies on learning. Let my expertise in assessing and evaluating new edtech options, asset-based learning and program evaluation help you in your journey to become a better educator.
