Clients, Case Studies & Past Projects
A chronicle of some of my collaborative endeavors and a showcase of a few of the remarkable projects I have had the privilege to work on.
My VentureWell work began when they came across a free Airtable template that I had shared online (my Business Model Canvas template). They invited me to create a digital learning environment in Airtable, based on my original template, to meet the specific needs of an entrepreneurship course that they run.
Roll Good Games is a consultancy that creates and runs ttRPG games for small groups. They work online and in-person to curate one-of-a-kind experiences for their players.
Building Ohana is a non-profit developing a housing community and they needed a way to centralize all of their data to make it easier to log and review.
Towering Trees Cohousing is a developing cohousing community taking root in North Seattle. I was asked to be the project manager and client advocate when the project was just getting started.
Serina is a talented interior designer who approached me to create a custom project dashboard that would allow her to centralize project resources and allow all of the team members to collaborate digitally.
Throughout the past few years of working with ecoTHRIVE, I have made significant contributions in a variety of areas of their work. With my background in architecture, I have leveraged my expertise in multifamily design and development to support the creation of ecoTHRIVE's pilot project (27 new homes in Burien, WA). My roles have spanned different circles (committees) within the organization, where I have tailored my services to meet evolving needs.

“After my retirement seemed the perfect time to pursue my dream of building a cohousing community to be my forever home. I know nothing about buying land, designing buildings or getting loans, but I figured I could make it happen. My first step was to engage the very talented Emma as Project Manager. She jumped eagerly on board, and from that first day two and a half years ago, she’s kept me going in the right direction.
Emma is the best consultant I have ever worked with. Before bringing her on, I struggled to manage all the back-end operations of my small business in the creative sector. Even with the proper tools, keeping track of expenses, invoices, timesheets, branding materials, and contacts is hard, and I lacked both proper tools and business expertise. Then, suddenly, Emma showed up and built everything for me from scratch, allowing me to focus on what I’m good at: creating content and satisfying my clients. The best part? She did it all within two weeks.
I am beyond grateful to have worked with Emma Sutton on the VentureWell NSF I-Corps Airtable BMC application. She provided a well-designed, functional Airtable base and interface that allowed us to manage hundreds of users at a time and save thousands of dollars on outsourcing. Whenever we throw new ideas for updates her way, she always finds the most straightforward solution and clearly communicates and documents her processes.
Emma Sutton has been an invaluable asset to both myself and our team at VentureWell, particularly in our work on the IUCRC program. Her ability to save us time and money while elevating our project's impact cannot be overstated.
Working with Emma is a true pleasure-her depth and breadth of expertise, skills and passion makes Emma an invaluable contributor-and I highly recommend her as a collaborator. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with Emma on numerous projects of various scope…
Emma has a unique combination of skills that were exactly what we needed (everything!) when we transitioned from a passionate group of people with a shared vision to a nonprofit 501c3 organization with an actionable project…
“Having worked with Emma on a variety of projects, she has demonstrated herself to be an adept communicator and a highly organized and detail-oriented project manager. It is easy to see how passionate she is about helping people and improving systems, and working with her is a joy.”
Emma joined our team at VillageCo at a crucial time and offered more than just her technical skills, but her passion for sociocratic governance and patience in working with evolving and learning teams.
Her involvement over the years has transformed our organization, and we couldn’t be more thankful and grateful for Emma…
