HELLO MY NAME IS: KALI
I am a passionate SOCIAL JUSTICE ADVOCATE and SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS ENTREPRENEUR with the drive to disrupt and break out of social norms — and significantly contribute to reducing and preventing established patterns of environmental and global health degradation.
A Visionary who elevates those around her, working to swing the pendulum of health equity and global consciousness.
I am a communications leader committed to moving climate, public health, and equity work from awareness to action. My foundation in this work began when I partnered with rural communities in Kenya and India to improve access to nutrition and agricultural knowledge—an experience that grounded my approach in cultural humility, community listening, and systems thinking.
In 2019, I founded STCK Design after noticing a consistent gap: organizations doing critical work without the communications strategy, brand clarity, or digital infrastructure needed to mobilize supporters at scale. Since then, I’ve built and led a multidisciplinary team supporting 20+ environmental and justice-focused nonprofits—helping raise funding, influence policy, and reach millions through strategic storytelling, branding, campaigns, and events.
This work is personal. I learned the value of water early in life, and that awareness shaped my commitment to environmental health and community well-being. Earning my Master of Public Health at Harvard University—with a dual concentration in health communications and planetary health—reinforced my belief that science and storytelling must work together to drive change.
