About

D'yani Wood

Digital Strategist | Government Communications

Decade making environmental government human-centered.
I believe community-influenced outreach is integral to good governance.
I humanize large institutions so the public can use what we build without a translator.
I solve systemic communications breakdowns in government work: broken processes, confusing websites, programs that don't reach people. I'm the person colleagues call when something needs to actually work for real humans.

How I tackle every project

1. Map the mess

Talk to SMEs + stakeholders
Research audience perspective/community
Find public/staff pain points
Benchmark agencies nationally/globally

2. Align the goal

Ask "why?" 5x—what are we *really* doing?
Boil down to core objective
Reject band-aid fixes

3. Design the fix

Mockups → stakeholder buy-in
Build durable systems
Manage momentum

4. Implement and measure

Launch deliverables
Feedback loops + staff training
Measure public/staff outcomes
