COMMUNITY & CULTURE

Workplace Connection, Community & Culture for Creative Networks and Companies.

The brands and organizations that will thrive in this new era of work are those that invest in cultivating a strong culture and community.

The way we work and engage is changing. Employee engagement and consumer loyalty are at an all-time low. Organizations need to rethink their brand-building and people strategies. This means creating opportunities for your teams and people to get engaged, build meaningful connections and feel more inspired.

Services

With a community-centered approach, Alice designs programs, experiences, tools, and rituals to empower organizations in catalyzing employee engagement, facilitating learning, brand and community building, and creating environments where people can thrive and do their best work.

Community Programs Design

Alice partners with organizations, brands and creative networks to design and implement strategies, programs, and initiatives (e.g. conferences, communities of practice etc.) that help people feel more connected and inspired, share knowledge and cross-pollinate ideas, and amplify engagement + the employer brand.

Alice’s tried and tested practices and programs have helped teams and individuals at organizations like Dropbox Design, kyu Collective, Zendesk, Pattern Brands, NOBL, WorkingNotWorking, and Red Bull form deeper connections, cultivate environments that inspire, and build brands that connect the creative community.

Shaping Creative Community & Employee Experience

Running Design Community Programs, Alice designed and drove community programs, partnerships, and creative production ideas to engage the Dropbox Design team of over 250 designers, researchers, and product managers in the US and foster a more creative, human, and joyful culture.

With the transition to a remote-first company, she also co-designed the Virtual First Toolkit with 19 remote-work practices and rituals that promote teamwork, enhance effectiveness, improve communication and prioritize well-being, and designed the Employee Experience for the opening of Dropbox Studios.

“Love Alice’s work. She spreads corporate magic, and is a powerful force – a doer and maker”

— Michelle Morrison, former Head of Design Operations Dropbox Design

Employee Conference Design + Future of Work Report

Alice led the design of a network-wide program called "kin". The goal: foster stronger, deeper connections across the kyu collective of more than 12 companies (and 2000+ employees) across the globe, and enable cross-company dialogue and knowledge sharing, to plant the seeds for future collaborations and creative work.

In a follow-up engagement, Alice conducted a research project and developed a Signals Report on Human Workplace design, sharing practices, burning questions, and learnings from workplace design practitioners (People teams, HR teams, COS, designers, strategists, behavioral psychologists, and researchers) from across 12 kyu companies.

“A humane, warm, and energizing gathering of the kyu Collective.”

— Kin Program Participant

Community Programs Design + Facilitation

Alice consulted Working Not Working on designing a community engagement strategy with programs to foster connections across their collective of 10K+ creatives.

She regularly hosts Talking Not Talking, a support group for creatives.
