Design-led.
People-powered.

Our founder, Darcie Fitzpatrick, is a super curious, people-loving designer who’s spent 20+ years building things — from digital products and services to stronger teams and healthier workplace culture.

She has worn a few hats (ok, a lot of hats): UX lead, agile coach, transformation consultant, researcher, graphic designer. And now? She runs Hey, Facilitator, a business that helps remote and hybrid teams collaborate like pros and enjoy their time together.

Darcie likes to say, “collaboration is my jam, problem-solving is my game, and empathy is my superpower!”

Core values

We don’t just talk about collaboration — we live it. These principles shape how we show up, spark momentum, and create real change with every team we work with.

 

Humanity

Design for humans. We honor messiness, celebrate wins, and learn from the in-between.


Curiosity

Stay endlessly curious. Ask questions, explore new ideas, and learn from everyone, always.


Authenticity

Come as you are. We bring our whole selves to the table and ground decisions in real insight.

Unity

The best ideas (and results) come from shared voices, open minds, and collective momentum.


Integrity

Own our impact. Do the right thing, even when it’s hard — and fess up when we get it wrong.


Bravery

Lead with courage. Be bold, take risks, and speak up — even when the path is uncertain.

As workplaces shift to remote and hybrid models, teams are missing the magic of connection.

Remote Work and Hybrid Models:

The transition to remote and hybrid work models has presented new challenges, such as maintaining cohesion and collaboration and ensuring that employees feel connected and engaged.

Change Management:

The rapid pace of technological and business changes requires companies to focus on effective change management strategies to ensure that employees can adapt to new ways of working and stay engaged. 

Attracting and Retaining Top Talent:

The competitive job market will continue to make it challenging for companies to attract and retain top talent. Companies will need to focus on creating a positive and engaging work environment to compete for the best candidates. 

Employee Well-being:

Employee well-being, including mental health and work-life balance, is a critical concern. Remote work and the blurring of work-life boundaries can contribute to burnout, so companies will need to prioritize employee well-being and provide support. 

Building a culture of collaboration isn’t easy when screens replace in-person interaction. Lucky you, that’s where Hey, Facilitator steps in… ✌️

We help teams navigate change by designing and guiding virtual meeting experiences that bridge the gap between remote work and real connection. Our sessions are crafted to foster psychological safety, build alignment, and energize your team — whether you’re transitioning to remote or redefining collaboration.

Collaboration Design Services

 

We rely on design-led approaches along with our expertise in visual communication and user experience to craft bespoke virtual whiteboards. Then, we put on our facilitator hat to guide your team through the session — while coaching stakeholders on best practices to help with lasting impact. 🤠

Here’s how we make collaboration happen:

  • DESIGN: We create custom virtual whiteboards that feature well-sequenced, collaborative activities tailored to your meeting goals, objectives, availability, and the unique personalities of your attendees.

  • FACILITATE: We lead the session, guiding your team through the experience while fostering psychological safety — making sure every voice is heard.

  • COACH: We work directly with stakeholders to share best practices for running collaborative sessions, so they feel confident leading their own.

  • DELIVER: We leave behind the virtual whiteboard as a reusable tool, so your team can continue beyond the initial session.

  • FOLLOW UP: After the session, we check in to see how things are going and ensure accountability.

By combining design, facilitation, coaching, and follow-up, we help your team move forward with clarity, cohesion, and the tools to keep collaborating effectively.
