Struggling to understand today's problems?

I consult and design digital tools that empower individuals to be reflective, healthy, and inspired to participate in democratic processes.

Dialogue Matters

Every problem has an overstory and an understory. The discovery of which provides insights for solutions.

Perspective Matters

Human perspectives are shaped by our experiences. Exposure to other perspectives is key to problem-solving.

About Me

Darielle Talarico, Ph.D.

From Arctic wildlife research to the frontiers of democracy, I have spent my career at the intersection of complex systems and human decision-making.

Whether coordinating public engagement processes for energy projects or exploring gamified approaches to civic participation in my doctoral research, I have designed spaces where reflection and empathy can flourish.

My facilitation approach, honed through decades of working with First Nations, government, and community organizations across Canada's North, has inspired my belief that dialogue can lead to change.

Today, I am building digital tools that empower individuals to be reflective, healthy, and inspired to participate in democratic processes.
