Reviews + Props 🥂
“Emily’s work with Go Girl Ride has helped us gain national recognition in a short period. What we thought would be an intensive brand audit session, has transitioned into a lasting business relationship. Personally, Emily has offered guidance and has helped me become a Founder worthy of my team’s trust. I can’t say enough about all that Emily means to Go Girl Ride. What I can say is that anyone who has the opportunity to work with Emily should do so without hesitation!”
— Trenelle Doyle, Founder, Go Girl Ride
Happy clients.
“Being a woman working in the creative industry, we question our value ALL THE TIME. cFc helped me carve the path that I needed to operate in a sustainable and profitable way. The direct nature of their communication, sharing of resources, and helping me articulate the language that I needed to gain traction in my business felt like I had unlocked a level in a video game that gave me the power to mold my business into what I wanted to be.”
— Jen Macias, Founder of Duende, UX and Accessibility Consultant
“[Collective Flow Consulting] helped me quantify the value that I bring to my clients and then helped me communicate that value to them. Her experience translates into a systematic understanding of business processes and an ability to make useful recommendations to her clients. Lastly, rather than just having a desire to make the world a better place, Emily takes action on her vision.”
— Jessica Outlaw, Founding Director of The Outlaw Center for Behavioral Research, Concordia University Portland
“Emily comes to the table with energy, know-how and serious organizational acumen. Each project with her helps me better understand the strengths and opportunities of my business, while keeping my values in mind. For my biggest projects of the last year, Emily’s support and strategic thinking has been essential. With Emily as my consultant, I finally feel supported to do my best work.”
— Jen Wick, Creative Director for Port of Portland, owner of Fort Wick studio
More love for the Collective.
“I love knowing that Collective Flow's members share a commitment to racial and gender equity while also being exceptionally good at what they do.”
“Emily and coFLOWco can bring order to chaos.”
“[Emily Weltman] is the fairy god-person I never knew I wanted on my shoulder.”
“[The best part?] Working with a bunch of bad-ass non-men was pretty amazing. Generally just feeling empowered by others.”
“There's so many components and background stuff that adds to the experience and mission of this business. coFLOWco is more than just a consulting firm; there's activism, community support, article writing. So much!!”
“Remember, if one womxn speaks up, she can be dismissed (literally and figuratively); if all womxn start speaking up, someone has to start paying attention.
This is the face of a new and innovative Feminism. For Emily, it can only be implemented with radical acceptance, radical authenticity, and deep intersectionality. All of which she discusses frequently in her writing and in her work with clients. All of which is truly innovative.”
— LaKay Cornell, Social Entrepreneur and Director of Content Strategy (writing for Conscious Company Magazine)
Contented colleagues.
“Even when we weren't on the same projects, [Emily] became one of my go-to people for advice and perspective. Our working relationship quickly became one of trust, as she was communicative, honest, and organized. She works tirelessly to make each client's project runs as smoothly as possible, and when challenges arise—as they inevitable do—she is always quick with a plan to ensure things stay on track.”
— Whitney Owen, Art Director and Designer
“I knew she always had my back to make my vision come to life. Em not only gets shit done, but she cares about the people working alongside her to get the project across the finish line. She brings an energy and effervescence to the table that is contagious. Em is always problem solving and offering ideas to help foster creativity within the larger group.”
— Brittney Stryker, Creative Director
“[Emily] was always one step ahead of the team in planning for next steps. Her appetite for success allowed the creatives on the team to focus on what they do best while she took care of the rest. While the industry is full of people who know how to make things happen, Emily balances her drive with a personable attitude that maintains a positive team dynamic even when the going gets tough.”
—Chrystal Roggenkamp, Environmental Designer
“[Emily’s] greatest strength is her empathy. Her ability to understand the strengths, skills, and needs of each member of a project is a rare gift that allows her to deftly navigate competing priorities and personalities with grace… [She] keeps the big picture in sight even as others get lost in the weeds. If Emily is on your team, I can guarantee your project will be better for it.”
