Organism Thinking is a consultancy that builds intelligent brands

We connect brands to the intelligence of the more-than-human world, catalyzing creativity for meaningful design and communication

Here to meet the moment

We are inspired by the wisdom of ecosystems, embracing both the natural world and the possibilities of emergent (artificial) intelligence.

We craft strategies, designs, and stories that both resonate today and invite a future where brands and their communities grow in harmony with life itself.

How we work

  • Our process begins with sensemaking through research, ecological insights, AI-driven analysis, and immersive workshops to reveal your brand’s authentic strategy and positioning.

    We will work together and with the intelligence of the more-than-human world to uncover blocks and blindspots in order to bring about deeper solutions from a place of aligned values. We combine biology and technology to design a new reality for your brand.

  • We bring strategy to life across visuals, words, and interactivity, creating a cohesive identity for digital and real-world presence.

    By attuning to the wisdom of the more-human-world, your brand will come to life in a new way.

  • We then craft narratives and artifacts—from websites to campaigns to communities—that are enchanting, adaptive, and ever-evolving. Through experiential workshops, including field trips and hands-on AI exploration, we expand your brand’s possibilities.

    A mythopoetic lens and cosmovison allow us to create news stories and ways of being for your brand and communities.

Join us

  • Each new moon, we host the Organism Thinking Cohort Circle, a virtual community of practitioners surfacing and exploring emergent ways of approaching brand, design and communications. Our aim is to nurture a deeper connection between our work and to the questions that define our era – to bridge the inner spirit with the outer impact necessary for true transformation.

    Together we will invoke a sacred space, use prompts and pass the (virtual) talking stick to hold space for the arising of questions and possibilities within the collective.

    The Circle take space on the new moon of every month for 90 minutes at 5pm Pacific Time.

    The suggested contribution for participation $20 and everyone is welcome, no one turned away.

    Please email circle@organismthinking.com to let us know if you would like to join.

  • We are looking for leaders and organizations who are themselves ready to be agents of transformation and leading the way into the new paradigm of what brand leadership looks like. Please be in touch to discuss possibilities with us. We’re excited to connect with organizations of all sizes and all kinds who are inspired and excited to explore possibilities where purpose and profit are in alignment.

  • We are convening an advisory board of leaders at the intersection of regenerative design, wise innovation, and mythopoetic storytelling. If you'd like to be an advisor for this project, please email us.
