Our 4 Core Assumptions

We approach your organization's challenges with a set of assumptions that guide our work. We assume that:

1. In order to solve a problem, we have to have a deep understanding of what the problem really is (often it's not what you think it is!); who is involved; and what they need.

2. Building more effective communication - between members of your organization, between your organization and its audience, even between members of your audience - creates more effective business. 

3. Understanding your audience is key to building effective communication and creating community. 

4. There is usually a much simpler, less expensive, more innovative, or more sustainable way to achieve your goals - and Imagine More can help you find that way.

Who We Are

 Imagine More was founded by Katie Hawkes, a San Diego, California-based ethnologist, ecologist, design thinker, world traveler, food lover, beekeeper, gardener and cook.

Katie holds a BA in Anthropology and Biology from the University of Pennsylvania and a Masters of Environmental Management (MEM) from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Over the course of her research and work with various non-profits and government agencies, she saw a problem: often, the people trying their hardest to change the world for the better were having difficulty achieving their goals. She founded Imagine More to help solve those problems; and the incredible Imagine More team of partners, collaborators, contributors and others who make everything possible continues to grow today. 

Our methods are a combination of ethnography, design thinking, and traditional branding/marketing/communications tools.
