What I Do
I help businesses and organizations build the systems, practices, and relationships that allow them to do their best work. Whether you're starting something new, navigating a period of growth, or reconsidering how your organization operates, I can help you identify what's working, what isn't, and what might work better.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that thoughtful organizational systems should make work easier, not more complicated.

About Katy
About Katy
My experience working at the intersection of art practice and environmental policy began early. As an undergraduate studying Art History, I was selected to film and edit a documentary on the historic Kissimmee River Restoration Project. In retrospect, this opportunity has come to symbolize much of what I have become as a professional.
I believe in applying an integrative approach to everything I do. Nothing exists in a vacuum. Context matters.
My career has taken me through contemporary art, environmental advocacy, sustainability, and organizational leadership. From supporting Los Angeles arts institutions to directing communications and operations for the U.S. Green Building Council, I've remained interested in how people, institutions, and systems intersect. That curiosity also led me to a graduate degree in Geography and Urban Analysis at California State University, Los Angeles, where I taught.
Over the past 15-plus years, I've owned and helped lead a sustainability consulting firm and held senior leadership positions across mission-driven organizations. My work has encompassed organizational strategy, business operations, financial management, human resources, communications, and organizational development, with a particular emphasis on building the infrastructure that allows organizations to grow, adapt, and thrive.
I believe the way we work matters as much as the work itself. Thoughtful organizational systems create clarity, accountability, trust, and the conditions for people to do their best work. I'm particularly drawn to helping organizations navigate complexity, connect their values to their practices, and translate ambitious ideas into meaningful action.
Ultimately, my work reflects a proclivity toward organization, a curiosity about how things fit together, and a desire to implement real change through thoughtful systems and communication strategies.
My work manifests where passion and expertise collide.
