Weaving words.

Connecting people.

Aligning purpose.

I help nonprofits, foundations, and organizations find clarity and connection in their work. My consulting services sit at the intersection of strategy, learning, and relationships, be that in helping funders refine their practices and processes; nonprofits grow their leaders; or strategic meeting design and facilitation. As a writer, I offer storytelling and brand narratives through thoughtful copywriting and copyediting. I see this work as deeply relational, and believe collaboration creates stronger communication. By centering our shared humanity in any work, we can bring people, words, and purpose into alignment.

Why “Textus Collective”?

The Latin word “textus” means woven or web, a framework, a connection. (And because early books were bound stacks of woven materials, it is also the root of the word “text” in English today.) As a word nerd with a mental Rolodex that’s always spinning and weaving across people and ideas, what better way to tie the threads of my work together?

I believe in the power of collaboration and collective action. “Small is all,” said adrienne marie brown, but look at how large a murmuration can be when thousands of small actions move together. The “collective” refers to this shared learning and shared work; though I work in partnership with many organizations and consultants, I am technically a solo practitioner.
