As Community Experiences Designer, I use cultural fluency, program development and experience design to support the whole experience of partners. This extends to exhibitions, programs and experiences across multiple mediums.

Stacey Baker was raised in a rural environment by a community of dairy farmers, shaping the way she navigates the world. Her education (B.S. in Zoology, M.S. in Biology) and experience as a scientific researcher and science communication practitioner illuminated the many barriers that communities face when interacting with science. Her experience includes planning and executing large scale science events, managing complex cross sector collaborations, training professional scientists in advancing more equitable communications practices, and facilitating honest conversations. She deeply understands that human centered design is non-negotiable for connecting meaningfully with people and embeds mental and emotional health, social justice principles, and relationship building into every aspect of how she works and supports the work of others. Stacey is a feminist, biologist, rock climber, cat companion, bookworm, coffee addict and baked goods enthusiast.

As the Community Experiences Harmonizer, I am actively sensing and creating balance within our projects, between our programs, and with our partners, supporting everything from big picture strategy to thoughtful details. For me, harmony is an overall feeling of peace and joy because we are honoring the realities of our experiences, which leads to alignment of our ideas, feelings, and actions which strengthen our work, creativity, and relationships.
