withharmonie studio is a creative community engagement firm dedicated to designing with joyful responsibility.

Founder & Principal Designer

Harmonie is a cultural worker cultivating collective learning, joy, and justice. She specializes in community co-design, coalition building, participatory research, healing-centered practice, and workshop design and facilitation.

Harmonie thrives in community, finding purpose and excitement in building relationships, fostering culture, and bridging the gap between divergent perspectives. A former teacher, she believes joy and justice are interdependent, and regularly employs music, art, and humor to center wellbeing while dismantling oppressive systems. Since leaving the classroom, Harmonie has focused on designing and implementing programs that not only engage youth, but also build pathways to economic opportunity for their families and communities.

Harmonie holds a B.A. in Psychology and Race & Difference Studies from Emory University and a M.Ed. in Teaching and Curriculum from Harvard Graduate School of Education.
