3 Ways I Can Help You...
1
REFRAME
Shift how your people see creativity. We redefine creativity as a professional strength, not a talent or hobby. Your team learns how creative literacy fuels reflection, resilience, and growth, essential for sustainable learning, care, and leadership.
2
RELEARN
Build creative confidence through hands-on workshops. Participants engage in accessible, research-informed practices they can use personally and bring into classrooms, care settings, and teams. Practical and grounded training.
3
REBUILD
Integrate creative literacy into daily work. Together, we design retreats, learning experiences, and long-term initiatives that embed creativity into the fabric of organizational life, reducing burnout, deepening connection, and restoring purpose across your teams.
We treat the arts as a luxury, but nothing could be further from the truth.
RESEARCH-INFORMED practice
My work sits at the intersection of arts in health, research, community practice, and program development. I’m currently completing an M.A. in Arts in Medicine at the University of Florida, where my research explores how creative engagement supports attention, reflection, connection, wellbeing, and meaning-making.
RESEARCH, TRANSLATION & PRACTICE
I’m interested both in contributing to research and in helping that research become useful beyond academic settings. My work moves between inquiry, synthesis, program development, and application: asking better questions, examining the evidence, identifying gaps, and translating emerging knowledge into programs, strategies, and tools that can be tested in practice.
EXPERIENCE ACROSS SETTINGS
My background spans business ownership, nonprofit leadership, writing, marketing, facilitation, public humanities, community programming, and arts-based practice. Recent work includes public library programming, nature journaling research, development of Athentikos’ Make-Break-Transform framework, and emerging work around arts and community resilience.
wHY IT mATTERS
Creativity is not reserved for artists. It is a human capacity that can support how we think, connect, adapt, make meaning, and thrive. My work focuses on helping create the conditions for that capacity to be taken seriously and practiced more intentionally in everyday life, organizations, and communities.
The Michelle Rene Hill Pop Quiz
current creative obsession:
Art collaboration, visual poetry, and exploring how I can learn through creativity
Coffee or tea:
A personal blend of loose-leaf tea… or chocolate-espresso ice cream if it's that kind of day.
Always on my desk:
Pens, paintbrushes, highlighters, plants, and stacks of books that never stay organized.
Permission I give myself:
To be imperfect, to rest, and to slow down, because growth doesn’t happen in overdrive.
Favorite Place to think:
In the back-porch hammock, surrounded by hills, trees, and a thousand half-finished ideas.
Favorite creative Soundtrack:
Anything with cello and rain in the background.
Creativity isn’t a luxury,
it’s a lifeline.
Creativity isn’t self-indulgence, it’s how we stay human.
It restores connection where culture has created distance, meaning where systems have reduced us to output, and hope where urgency has taken root.
When we create, we remember who we are — and what we’re capable of becoming.
