How YAY Can Help

Complex problems motivate us. We’re always ready to tackle a new creative challenge. Our primary services include:

Experience Design

When you are tasked with doing more with less, or are finding old services or processes failing you, experience design can help you level up. We first examine where you are now, then identify paths forward, and design a plan of action. Our expertise includes employee, customer, and brand experiences. 

Creative Services

Your brand should be a beacon for your organization, clearly showing your distinct character. If you haven’t updated your visuals or messaging, or if your team struggles to tell your story, a brand campaign or refresh can get you tuned up. Our specialities include brand development, naming, illustration, and storytelling.

Facilitation

We all need a reset or rally now and then. YAY retreats help you make key decisions and give your team a burst of energy. Common themes include creative sprints, strategic planning, design thinking and innovation workshops, or crafting vision and core values. We can design and facilitate any type of team or volunteer retreat.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sara in a number of capacities over the last decade. Collaborating with Sara is a true joy as she approaches each project with enthusiasm and a strategic lens. I’m not sure if I’ve ever worked with someone as multifaceted as Sara. From design thinking, facilitation, creative writing and graphic design, it seems there’s nothing she can’t do! Sara is a curious critical thinker who is patient, thoughtful and deliberate, always striving to create the best possible outcomes for her clients.
