Hi, I'm Alix! I run operations for small, mission-driven teams, paint farms, and markets, and I keep a Google Map with far too many pins. 

For nearly a decade, I’ve been the behind-the-scenes person making things work. Most recently, I was Director of Operations & Talent at IDEO.org. Under the name Organized Impact, I take on part-time, project-based work with nonprofits, food and farm organizations, and creative businesses that need a steady hand on the back end. 

Outside of operations, I obsessively plan my next adventure and paint (mostly in oil, mostly landscapes and things that grow). The Pins section is where those Google Maps pins and phone photos from travels finally go somewhere useful.

I’m at my happiest where food, land, art and people overlap. If you’re working on something there, I’d love to hear about it!
