Let’s Make Ideas Shine Through Better Design

Effective communication is one of the most visible skills for any employee to master.  I help employees master those skills through engaging workshops in both verbal and written communication. 

Each course brings clarity to complex topics from data visualizations to how to report technical jargon. I work with team leads to make sure courses reflect their needs, no one size fits all here! For a sneak peek of course content, see my medium article for 10 practical tips for memos.

Courses can be also tailored to clients needs and public courses are held a few times per year. To get notified of the next course, please sign-up  below.
