Outsmart Disaster
“Since joining the statewide disaster preparedness campaign in 2020, Alicia has helped to increase our engagement with community stakeholders and improve our presentation materials. Her immense disaster experience background and use of real-world examples of resiliency at work has been invaluable to our efforts. In addition, their quick turnaround and creativity in approach has helped to make our work efficient and lively.”CREW
“Alicia has been very helpful in our project and making it represent our objectives, including maintaining the simplicity and accessibility for our end users of our work. Her work ethic supports our objectives FIRST. Understanding how our project serves our stakeholders in multiple ways and her ability to keep those stakeholders in mind through project development has been critical in the success of our work. Alicia's efforts will result in CREW's ability to provide education, outreach and the sharing of best practices, nationally. Alicia is great at maintaining communications, follow up, and delivery. Her 'get it done' attitude has helped save time and energy, and kept confusion to a minimum.”Corey Reynolds
Alicia’s expertise in design thinking and use of a people-centered approach through all their work added incredible value to our team's support of the State of Oregon and its Be 2 Weeks Ready public outreach campaign. While our content creation team was focused on the details, Alicia's steadfast advice always reminded us to not forget the "who" and the "why". From taking the lead on developing personas to represent the different Oregonians who ultimately would use the resources we developed, to grounding all of our Be 2 Weeks Ready work with an engaging "Manifesto", Two Lynchpin Road's work with us on the Be 2 Weeks Ready project resulted in a higher quality product for our client, and upon implementation, will undoubtedly help Oregonians become more prepared and resilient.
