As arts leaders and practitioners with over 30 years professional experience each, we have always committed ourselves 100% to the organizations and communities we serve.

As partners, we led California Shakespeare Theater through a period of extraordinary creative and financial growth, and since then, we have continued to serve as fully engaged and committed partners with whomever we have worked, bringing our unique blend of strategic and imaginative thinking to effect change for our communities.

Debbie and Jon through the years….

They need partners, and that is who we are, with each other, and with you. 

We bring our full selves to analyze root issues, ask the right questions, hone vision,  think imaginatively, and act strategically.  We will actively listen as we help  operationalize your vision for change, moving you from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, no matter how tough the issue may be.

We are a boutique, hands-on firm that will be in the game with you to win. 

We are guided by our core principles of diligence, humor, humility, collaboration, honesty, and most of all, joy, as we foster deep connections and a strong sense of shared commitment to the success of our clients. What makes us unique is that together, we provide proven experience on all sides of an organization: from artistic to administrative, from governance to civic advocacy, across multiple disciplines/genres, and with  vast national local, state and national networks.  

By focusing on creativity as the essential tool to solve intractable problems and strategic thinking as core to all financial success, we help organizations transform themselves and their communities.
