crafting connection through story, sea & design

PORTFOLIO

I build connection through story, design and sea.

I believe in the transformative power of storytelling, art, and design (both digital and natural) as ways to move mountains and invite possibility. Through creativity and lived experience I build connection in an increasingly automated world using select tools.

Creo en el poder transformador de la narración, el arte y el diseño (tanto digital como natural) como formas de mover montañas e invitar a la posibilidad. A través de la creatividad y la experiencia vivida, construyo conexiones en un mundo cada vez más automatizado, utilizando herramientas selectas.

I show up in the world as a writer, instructor, consultant, graphic designer, editor, facilitator, performer, creative disruptor, transformative justice advocate, jewelry designer, storykeeper, 5NP ear acupuncture technician, surfer, & disabled kin.

Me presento en el mundo como escritora, instructora, consultora, diseñadora gráfica, editora, facilitadora, intérprete, disruptora creativa, defensora de la justicia transformativa, diseñadora de joyas, guardiana de historias, técnica en auriculopuntura 5NP, surfista y familiar con discapacidad.

I serve people and organizations at the intersections of design, storytelling, and social change from the archipelago of Puerto Rico. I use tools like group and in-person facilitation, 1:1 coaching, website & graphic design, and sea shells to connect across borders.

Sirvo a personas y organizaciones en la intersección del diseño, la narración y el cambio social desde el archipiélago de Puerto Rico. Utilizo herramientas como la facilitación grupal y presencial, el coaching 1:1, el diseño web y gráfico, y las conchas marinas para conectar más allá de las fronteras.

Detailed portfolios related to graphic design & Spirit Shells jewelry available upon request.

Café con Cass, now home to all of my digital work and portfolio originally began as a Cambridge Community Public Access Television show that aired weekly and brought dialogue alive on healing, arts and culture with occasional guests. This clip is with dear friend and colleague, Lama Rod Owens
