I work with individuals and organizations on project management, mobilizing knowledges, designing arts-based research methodologies, creating content, writing grant applications, developing and revising texts, designing graphic material, developing and maintaining websites, doing public scholarship, and editing video and audio. (A few other things, too…) As an academic myself, I understand what you do, including your institutional constraints and ways to work within them.
