Hi! I’m Jessica Riehl, a designer, artist, facilitator and mother charting new territory in “systems scribing” and parent-supported elementary school art programing. I uses collaborative and visual-based processes to gain insight and empower change. My colleagues have called me a “complexity artist” and I’ve been hired as a “creative midwife” helping to get new ideas out into the world. I love to create spaces for connecting with each other, finding new ways of working together, and exploring artistic expression. I spend many hours volunteering as an elementary school art teacher and helping with equity and diversity initiatives in my son’s school district. I’m a former Naval Officer and farmer’s daughter living in Tigard, Oregon.
