About Me
Hey, I’m Sara.
I’m a writer, strategist, and facilitator for businesses focused on social and environmental change. My training as an herbalist allows me to weave in my deep desire to help people connect to their internal and external environment, living in synergy with the plants around us. The plants inspire me in all aspects of my work and life.
I’m also the founder of IMBY, a virtual community center for people who give a shit about co-creating a more just and equitable future.
My Work
I talk, write, and think a lot about intentional and integral living. I care deeply about addressing societal and environmental inequity.
I also host the Medium Well podcast, which dives into self-exploration and all the things I love and live and breathe [see above!].
I’ve been living, breathing, and teaching design thinking, which uses empathy at its core to design offerings that matter, for the better part of a decade.
I write about sustainable living, wellness, business, and community care as contributor to mindbodygreen, Bon Appetit, Forbes, chowhound, USA Today, The Fullest, and Cherry Bombe, amongst others.
Let’s work together

Strategy Sessions
Whether you are starting a new business or initiative in your business, are an “accidental entrepreneur” that needs to refine their strategy, or are stuck and in need of strategic direction, these virtual sessions may be just what you need to get going.
-
Design Thinking Facilitation
One of my favorite things to do is to facilitate workshops and watch the magic unfold as participants learn how to integrate the design thinking methodology into their work. I’d love to work with your company, networking group, conference, or stakeholders to add this endlessly helpful modality to their toolkit. I’ve been practicing and teaching design thinking for a decade, and over the past couple of years, I have been studying and weaving equity-centered design into my practice. Equity is at the center of how I facilitate this process.

Impact and Strategy Consulting
I love supporting impact-driven businesses, nonprofits, and community projects to deepen their social responsibility, lighten their environmental footprint, and integrate humanity into their work. I use an equity-centered design thinking approach to evaluating your businesses’ current challenges, areas of stuckness, and/or opportunities, and flesh out a project plan customized to each client and their needs.
