Emily Stoddard Furrow
As the co-owner of DVQ Studio, a few of my greatest loves – communications, social change, and entrepreneurialism – have come together.
Addicted to learning. Born to create meaningful things. Working to connect people and ideas.
As a communications consultant, I help organizations understand who they are, shape a distinct story about themselves, create meaningful tools to tell that story, and connect with people to build support. I believe strong communications makes for strong organizations.
As a social change junkie, I work to connect an organization’s mission to action. Professionally and as a volunteer, I’ve supported some powerful missions on a grassroots level and nationally. These have included ending homelessness, attacking childhood hunger, preserving natural spaces, getting out the vote, increasing women’s leadership, and more.
As an entrepreneur, I’m addicted to learning and new thinking. This makes me a little restless, pretty fearless, and very open to big ideas. Luckily my sidekick Gretchen shares this attitude, so we use our business as an outlet for experimenting and creating. When we’re not working with clients, we’re trying out new technology, brainstorming ideas for books, music and other art, or discussing other ways to become rockstars and poets.
