Redesigning bad meetings into collaborative experiences
Hey, Facilitator originates from the simple insight that companies blame lack of collaboration for workplace failures.
86% of employees and executives cite lack of collaboration or ineffective communication for workplace failures.
Meanwhile, remote employees spend about one-third of their time collaborating. Aha! Hello, misalignment. 🤦
Lucky you, that ‘aha’ moment is where Hey, Facilitator steps in.
Introducing ➔ Collaboration Design
We call what we do Collaboration Design. Which goes beyond facilitation.
It’s about intentionally crafting how people come together, think together, and move forward together. We treat every session like a well-designed product: with purpose, structure, and human connection at the core.
Our superpowers? A blend of design thinking, agile coaching, service design, and open innovation to help organizations understand inefficiencies and help teams move faster, think bigger, and stay human while they do it.
What Does That Look Like?
Collaborative experiences are designed to:
➔ Spark co-creation, focus, and momentum
➔ Strengthen psychological safety and team empathy
➔ Make space for real connection and have fun
➔ Devise a plan of action everyone can rally around
Why It Works
Collaboration Design works because it’s grounded in human-centered thinking. When meetings are purposefully crafted, they get actionable results while building trust and lasting alignment. Great teamwork doesn’t happen by accident, it happens by design. 🎯
Bonus: We help ensure accountability by following up with teams post-session to see how things are going.
Because collaboration is our jam

Darcie has worn a few hats (ok, a lot of hats): UX lead, transformation consultant, researcher, design director, art director, graphic designer.
And now… she runs Hey, Facilitator, a business that helps teams collaborate like pros and enjoy their time together.
Her secret weapons?
Design thinking, agile coaching, service design, and a love for open innovation, which she brings to Hey, Facilitator by providing collabortaive experiences to help teams move faster, think bigger, and stay human along the way.
Darcie likes to say, “collaboration is my jam, problem-solving is my game, and empathy is my special sauce!”
