Our founder, Darcie Fitzpatrick, is a curious, human-centered design leader and facilitation expert with a couple of decades of experience collaborating in global cross-functional groups while building things together, like stronger teams and workplace culture.
A few places Darcie has designed experiences for include:
“During our collaboration, Darcie did an excellent job facilitating and leading several design thinking sessions that included cross-functional teams.”
“Darcie did a phenomenal job at helping our team work optimally together. She shined as a facilitator and guided activities to understand our unique needs.”
“I can’t say this enough, these sessions have been most productive. Awesome job getting us all together and leaving with some great solutions.”
Why collaboration matters…
U.S. companies lose a staggering $399 billion every year to unproductive meetings.
A 10-person team alone can accumulate about 300 hours of wasted effort per month. Ugh. We’re here to say, “this doesn’t have to be the norm.”
Collaboration can be designed to have huge impact. Check it out:
