“Miyuki is a synthesizer and realizer of thought and feeling. We turned to Miyuki to support the nuanced and culture forward way we want to speak about and share our latest community project. Miyuki channeled sacred words and illuminated images that gave clearer definitions to our vision and intentions.”
—People’s Kitchen Collective
“Miyuki is very collaborative and responsive to their client's vision for visual storytelling pieces. Miyuki's work itself is very aligned with folks wanting an organic/naturey feel to the visual piece. I am really excited to use this piece to complement a proposal for a book I'm hoping to publish! The visual is going to speak to the audience in a different way than my words!”

“I felt inspiring energy, warmth, and sense of groundedness from Miyuki. I was transformed observing how Miyuki’s facilitation directly supported a group of strangers coming together to co-create a safe, welcoming, accessible, and uplifting space and observed community-building & collective healing take place on Zoom, which is not an easy format to do this in. I recommend working with Miyuki to anyone interested in community engagement, collaborative learning, and collective healing. Perhaps someone who has some initial ideas for programming but needs a skilled facilitator to bring in tools, activities, and processes for running an impactful workshop/experience.”
—Linda Jia, Learning, Experience & Programs Developer at OMCA
“Beautiful Scholarship with Miyuki was delightful. As an academically trained scholar, it was relieving and also productively challenging to be invited into an embodied, relational, sensorially rich engagement with knowledge/creativity/scholarship. Grateful for this gift!”
— Dr. Savannah Kilner, writer, editor, & organizer
“I loved the Beautiful Scholarship Portal with Miyuki! We had the chance to be creative, playful, and beautiful, while reimagining and redefining what scholarship can look like. I love Miyuki's both grounded and playful facilitation, as well as the beautiful visuals they create to inspire and embody beautiful scholarship. This is a wonderful opportunity to tap into your beautiful self!”
—Rebekah Sze-Tung Olstad, community herbalist
“With insight, care, and imagination, Miyuki helped me transform my ideas for a presentation into an engaging, participatory activity. A beautiful visual also came out of our session together. I felt grounded and centered on purpose when I delivered my presentation yesterday, and will bring this experience with me to future work.”
—Stacie Chun, Finance Manager
“I learned how to listen to others, but also how to listen to myself, my body, and my heart.”
—Anonymous student at UC Berkeley
“Miyuki’s expansive and connective thinking led us to tap on their expertise to co-create and facilitate our recent roundtable conversation with neighbors about community relationships in North Oakland. This was all during the height of the COVID-19 uncertainties and the transformational Black Lives Matter demonstrations. It was challenging to shape a safe and welcoming container for vulnerable conversations on zoom. Miyuki’s attentive listening and responsive insights allowed everyone to show up as their authentic selves and feel truly heard.”
—sue mark, Commons Archive lead organizer
“Miyuki is a playful collaborator. Working with them will be an opportunity to expand your vision and open you up to joyful surprise.”
