About

Hi I’m Sascha. 👋 I co-authored the Community Canvas, which has been used by over 100,000 community builders and I’m excited to bring all my learnings to an updated and new community building framework.
I work at the intersection of systems thinking, communication and user experience design to unravel complex relationships and create meaningful interactions and systems change that help organizations and individuals build belonging, trust and resilience.

I previously worked at the New York Times, Google's Creative Lab and have consulted with startups, innovation projects and nonprofits for the last 10 years.
