Every time people come together, it should be worth their time and energy.

Hi, I'm April, founder of Wondry

I specialize in Facilitation, Community Design, and Experiential Auditing to transform how we meet, learn, and build together.

Entering foster care at 14, I navigated over 13 schools and 22 homes. By 17, I sought and achieved emancipation. Without transitional services, my young child and I faced homelessness, living in a car while I worked to build a foundation.

These experiences solidified my belief in the power of community: how we gather can unlock huge potential, and the right experiences can change us-- permanently.

Embracing entrepreneurship early on, I've collaborated with organizations like Sony Music, HubSpot, and Late Checkout, honing my expertise in Facilitation, Community Design, and Experiential Auditing..

I'm also a choreographer and creative director, which has given me a wholly unique perspective on the power of creative work.

At Wondry, I offer:

  • Facilitation: Leading workshops, salons, and meetings that drive alignment, engagement, and actionable outcomes.
  • Community Design: Developing strategies and structures that transform passive audiences into active, connected communities.
  • Experiential Auditing: Evaluating and refining live experiences to ensure events and activations deliver meaningful impact."

Hi, I'm April, founder of Wondry.

 

I've built community strategy for some great names-- both big and small.

I love that community is both good for people and good for business.

With over 20 years of experience, I have a deep understanding of both the psychology and strategy behind brand loyalty and I'm drawn to folks who are motivated by change for good.  

 

I'm also a foster kid. I moved through over 22 homes before emancipating to live in my car.

I share this because decades later, it is fundamental to everything I do.

Those years of feeling lost, untethered, and small became a compass for me.

Community is the common core in all my work.

I spend most of my days hanging out with Roo (part doodle, part therapist) and dreaming up new, creative ways to bring people together

My Approach

 

The way we gather is broken. I fix it.
 
Most meetings are a waste of time. Most events are forgettable. Most communities struggle to keep people engaged. That’s not a people problem—it’s a design problem.
Through Facilitation, Community Design, and Experiential Auditing, I make sure every gathering is built for participation, connection, and impact.
I pull from my background in choreography, community strategy, and experience design to create gatherings that don’t just “run”—they move people, shift perspectives, and drive action.
Because when you design for engagement, people don’t just show up.  They leave changed.
Let's talk

Candor

We're kind, but direct. We believe truth is generous.

How this translates to our work:

  • We don't do "sales" calls. No pushiness, no ploys.
  • If it'll get you to your goals, we'll tell you about it.
  • If it'll keep you from reaching your goals, we'll tell you.

Transparency

We don't get why companies hide their prices and processes...so we don't.

How this translates to our work:

  • We list all of our prices on our website.
  • We only take on two high touch engagements at a time
  • We don't do contracts. 

Diligence

We're committed to high standards and uncovering every opportunity for delight.

How this translates to our work:

  • All touch points are considered
  • Every tactic is tested before implemented or taught
  • Our approach is empathetic and "human-centric".
