Sarah Robertson is a strategist, culture coach, dot connector, and change agent.

As a change consultant at Design Impact, she facilitates collaborative and inclusive processes that weave social and racial justice with organizational design and creative problem-solving. Her work is built on the belief that those most impacted must be at the center of driving change forward and that creativity is an essential tool for our collective liberation. She’s used co-design to improve job quality with frontline workers, coached organizations to build inclusive cultures, and built capacity for equitable community engagement. Prior to Design Impact, Sarah consulted Fortune 10 companies, nonprofits, and community organizations on organizational and creative change.
