Q33 is a consulting group that springs from the arts and the innovative space required to bring them to life.

It all begins with an idea and a story.

Philosophy

There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.
— Brené Brown

Strategies built on empowerment, compassion, and industry knowledge.

We don’t know things inherently. We just don’t. In order to find clarity, we must enter each space with curiosity and seek the truth of the given moment. Each time we begin a project, we very likely find ourselves with at least a slightly different set of given circumstances and collaborators. This can be invigorating if we can find the bravery to accept that the only real constant is change.

Core Truths:

  • Evaluation of self and process will bring positive change.

  • Systemic inequities are harmful to us all.

  • Risk can be reduced though never eliminated.

  • Vulnerability is courageous.

  • Flexibility allows the best of the moment to present itself.

  • Curiosity is the first step to true clarity.

  • Transparency is power rooted in trust.

  • Perfection is a myth.

  • Joy and levity invite the wholeness of our collaborators.

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but building on the new.
— Socrates
