On the Right Track for Virginia's Rail Future

Pediatric Care When it Matters Most
The team at JPoint has been working with UCSF's Western Regional Alliance for Pediatric Emergency Management (WRAP-EM) to turn complex medical knowledge into an accessible, effective, and engaging training curriculum, focused on delivering excellent pediatric care during disasters.

Mapping a Safer Future
JPoint partnered with Texas A&M's Agrilife program to improve communication and engagement for the Texas Community Watershed Partners (TCWP). Through stakeholder interviews and strategic planning, we supported TCWP's mission to improve community resilience against coastal storms and flooding. Find out more about TCWP's impactful work with CHARM, a user-friendly collaborative mapping tool.
Out of the Fire and Into the Flood
For the past 20 years, JPoint team members have engaged in research and risk communication efforts related to both wildfire and flood risk. We have proudly supported federal and state partners working to reduce complex, acute flood risk, such as that from Flood After Fire.
Where there's Smoke...there's Help
The team at JPoint Collaborative recently supported Emerge Technologies and the California Department of Public Health in putting together a comprehensive set of guidelines on how to deal with wildfire smoke. The document is available here, and while it was designed for California audiences, its up-to-date information is applicable to anyplace wildfire smoke spreads. The guide’s crisp design and concise language features what JPoint does best: effective communication design for the most difficult topics and situations.

What is the JPoint Collaborative?
We are a queer-, women-owned small business (SWaM and WOSB certified). The ‘collaborative’ in our name refers both to how we work with our clients, and how our business operates internally. We employ an interdisciplinary, non-traditional, non-hierarchical approach to solving problems across and between fields and silos. We work closely with our clients to co-create solutions that work in the real world, providing the structures and background to help our clients think through what they want to accomplish, and how best to get there, while incorporating inputs from multiple sources at every step.
Taken in part from models like the artist collective and employee-managed manufacturing, a collaborative provides an alternative, equity-centered way to work on today’s biggest challenges. We provide our ‘collaborators’ (experienced consultants with a range of capabilities) with the creative flexibility to learn, grow, cross-pollinate, and test new ideas in a supportive team environment that enables our clients to best meet the moment. Contact us if you would like to learn more about the collaborative model.
