Staci Jasin is the Executive Director of COGdesign. Staci believes in the power of place to transform lives and improve individual and planetary health. A curious and solutions-driven, trans-disciplinary thinker, her career has focused on leading organizations and teams to integrate design, place-based education, and regenerative strategies to center community voices and sustained programming. When not supporting others to realize their visions of well-being, she restores herself outdoors—paddleboarding, gardening with her two kids, and exploring urban and natural landscapes. She often dreams of the expansive desert vistas of her childhood home in the Southwest.
