FOR THE GREATER GOOD
ETHAN WRIGHT–MAGOON
With over 25 years of experience, I help organizations see what’s possible when they stop fearing change and start embracing purpose. I’ve done this with colleges, nonprofits, agencies, and mission-driven founders. My work goes beyond design — it’s about bringing depth, direction, and meaning to your mission.
