I'm Amelia McGee. I make multimedia-collage art, organize stylishly functional spaces for individuals and families, help people to identify and optimize patterns of living, and write and edit materials for coaches, health care providers, and parents.

I have a master’s degree in public health, I am a certified parent coach with the Parent Coaching Institute, I was trained as a copy editor, and I attended art school before switching tacks to community studies in my college years. All of these experiences inform what I bring to the table as a service provider, content creator, and maker.

In public health, there is a model called the "causal web," which helps researchers understand how disease plays out in a population. It's the big picture connections—the what-led-to-what-led-to-what that made something how it is. I love to think about the causal web on the micro level—or, in short, what's up at your house. What are the connecting lines between your environment and everyone’s behaviors and beauty and-and-and? How do they all affect how you live? And how do you make the best of them, so they reinforce each other for the good of the household? That's where I come in!

• Art: To make a space look nice/feel like home for all who live there, it helps to have an eye for beauty and aesthetics.

• Parent education: To make a space sustainably functional, it helps to understand human tendencies, like temperament. You also have to be clear on the rules and norms of the household AND get everyone on board.

• Home organizing with a side of public health: To reinforce the rules and norms of your household, it helps to have your environment set up with systems, preferably ones that look nice and make you feel good in that space.

Here is the Venn Diagram of how this works:

This is basically what my brain looks like. Well, add in some kale and some Parks & Rec trivia, and you've pretty much nailed it.
