Who we are

Hi, I’m Kerry! I’ve been telling stories since I was 6 (ask me about the one with the cow on Mars) and working in technology communications for 20 years. I’m here to help sustainable organizations develop strategic narratives to reach the stars.

🏃 Completed half and full marathons in multiple countries

⛰️ Climbed the highest peak in the contiguous U.S.

🌽 Run across (parts of) the state of Iowa (in 2026, I’ll ride across it!)

💬 Interviewed Lewis Black, Sarah Vowell, and other superstars

🌟 Jumped in the water with glowing creatures (dinoflagellates ftw)

🔥 Dressed up as a Flaming Lips song for Halloween

Oh, did you mean professional things?

Guiding principles

Ask hard questions

Investors will ask: why you, why this, why now?

We go beyond these questions and ask: how does the world look different when you win?

Offer trust

A killer way to build trust is to offer it. Trust others, be honest with them, and they’ll trust you too.

(Re)build systems

Systems are powerful. We think about building our own systems that work better–and bringing others with us along the way.
