A visual communicator and cultural questioner, Casey believes in the power of design in service of a more equitable world where humanity and the natural world can thrive together. Casey filters the projects that come her way and prioritizes efforts that weave social and environmental justice and healing. The people and projects that fill her cup are compelled to ask challenging questions, foster ‘power with’ relationships and heal broken relationships within humanity and the more than human world. She is often tasked to filter complex technical data into a visual story used to guide understanding of restoration and reparation efforts. Through her gifts, she hopes to contribute to creating a future world that works for all beings. Current clients include Reciprocity Consulting, Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), Deschutes River Conservancy, Upper Deschutes Watershed Council, Pipeline Safety Trust, The Beaver Coalition, and Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF).
Casey’s current passion project is a series of guidebook to explore consciousness and reshape culture entitled, Wonder upRising. The themed guidebooks are a collaboration with author and friend, Carol Delmonico, and include questions with writing prompts to move users into new ways of seeing, feeling, and sensing the world. It can be used privately or with groups and urges users to look beyond their individual lives, closely at their impact, identify blindspots, and shift their consciousness toward interdependence and a renewed relationship with the natural world.
When away from her laptop, Casey practices some well worn, yet often forgotten skills of sewing, circle singing, dancing, learning to play stringed instruments (humbly), and spending as much time outside in community with other species and the humans she loves.
