Flor de Maria de los Angeles Olivo
I work at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and community care.
My work brings together visual storytelling, movement, community building, and more than two decades of experience in communications, education, nonprofit strategy, fundraising, and grassroots organizing.
Across each of these disciplines, I help people recognize the meaning already present in their work and turn it into something clear, useful, and deeply human. That may look like developing a strategy, documenting a story, creating an embodied experience, strengthening an organization, or building a space where people can gather and belong.
