Flor de Maria de los Angeles Olivo

I work at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and community care.

My background spans visual storytelling, movement and embodiment practices, nonprofit strategy, fundraising, and grassroots organizing. Over the past two decades, I’ve built and supported initiatives that translate values into real systems, whether that’s helping organizations strengthen their funding and governance, designing spaces for connection and healing, or creating art that tells honest human stories.

Through projects like Descanso and Connection Studio, I design spaces that invite people into reflection, movement, learning, and collective care. My creative work blends mixed media, photography, and narrative, often rooted in ancestral memory, place, and everyday resilience.

I also consult with small organizations, collectives, and founders on brand clarity, fundraising strategy, program design, and operational systems, with a focus on equity, sustainability, and relational leadership. My approach is practical and systems-minded, while staying deeply human.

I currently do grant writing and fundraising strategy for local nonprofits. My role bridges program strategy with clear storytelling, data synthesis, and impact framing, helping complex social work translate into fundable, accountable outcomes.

Alongside this, I lead Flawur, a creative and wellness ecosystem that includes photography and media work, embodied practices, and community-centered programming.

At the core of all this is a belief that healing, creativity, and economic stability are not separate.

I believe we build stronger futures when we invest in people, relationships, and imagination together.
