Being Seen, Heard & Understood
Weekly workshops provide connection
Weekly workshops provide connection
Sometimes the work you do needs to be seen by other business owners or leaders, as well as the consumer.
In this case, Kirsten worked with Independent Actuaries so that their own staff, clients and the businesses that their clients work for could more easily understand what it is that acuists actually do.
The results? A clear picture on how to connect, share ideas, continue conversations and build stronger relationships.

Kirsten's work includes early innovation
Throughout her work, Kirsten has not only supported individual businesses—she has contributed to ideas and approaches that have influenced how industries operate, market, and grow today.
- Electric Vehicle Integration
Contributed to early strategies and communication that supported bringing electric vehicles onto U.S. streets and into public awareness.
- Digimarc to QR Code Engagement
Developed interactive campaigns using Digimarc technology to draw customers in—an approach that evolved into the now widely used QR code engagement strategies.
- Innovative Retailer Leader
Rather than focusing just on product sales, Kirsten encouraged retailers like Montavilla Sewing Centers to create a community of classes, clubs and events so that relationships were the focus. This way of doing business shifted from a burnt down store to five locations and being a leader throughout the world.
- The Pearl District Development Mindset
Helped shape thinking around building in “unbuildable” spaces—contributing to innovative urban development approaches for a local developer.
- The Living Well with Healthy & Fun Choices
Helped doctors, nutritionists and dieticians roll out effective patient protocols so that rest, family time, mindset/yoga is integrated into patient care.
- Social Media Influence Through Consistency
Early adopter of using lifestyle storytelling (sunsets, outdoors, everyday moments) to build authentic engagement—now a foundational principle of social media growth.
- Visual Merchandising Through Website Design
Created early website concepts showing how logos appear across products—now standard practice in print and promotional industries.
- Affiliate & Partnership Programs
Developed collaborative business growth models before they were widely adopted, helping businesses expand reach through shared networks.
- Harvest Festival Model
Co-created a seasonal, experience-based business model that integrates education, community, and partnerships—now replicated across farms and local businesses.
