Experiential + Lifestyle Design.
Experiential learning is to process the world using all layers of self. What if we approached learning as an integrated being, instead of just one layer at a time?
We envision the experience of life at its prime expression, to be a personal exploration—as unique and beautifully designed as each individual on the path… if only we can trust ourselves enough to inquire within, and slow down enough to hear our own innate wisdom.

Our Team, is comprised of leaders in writing, design, audio & video filming/editing and strategic product management. By combining our respective talents and evaluating the needs of our client, we expand or contract to create the ideal pallette of professionals—working together to create a custom plan for each project.

Often throughout my 25+ year career in content strategy, online training and product development, I've found myself in need of just the right skill set—a combination of outstanding writing and content structure, but infused with creativity, emotional intelligence, consciousness and heart. Jill has been my #1 go-to person for every one of these projects. I trust her implicitly with my high-end clients and her high standard, grit and integrity always help her deliver at the highest level. If you have the opportunity to work with her on a creative project—anything that includes writing, video, visual design or the creative expression of ideas—I highly recommend you take advantage of the opportunity!
