”Viva and Michael designed and facilitated a workshop for ERG leaders in our organization. As designers, they took the time to understand our context, the audience, and the specific needs to be addressed in the workshop, in a short amount of time. As facilitators, they brought a grounding energy, deep empathy, and a way to share content that was digestible and impactful. I am grateful for how they showed up, and I look forward to partnering again in the future!”
