03 / THE HUMAN BEHIND THE WORK

A builder at heart.
In service of life.

I’m Thyme. I help people connect the vision they can feel with the practical things it takes to bring it to life.

My path has taken me from electrical work on schools and skyscrapers to filmmaking, business development, and the everyday systems that help organizations function. The thread is the same: understanding how the pieces fit—and building with care.

ANKR took root in 2020 during months spent in Auroville, India. In a moment of global uncertainty, the experience of people sharing resources and caring for one another made another way forward feel possible.

With care, Thyme

LET’S BEGIN WITH A CONVERSATION

What are you
here to create?

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
Bring your idea, your questions, or the place you feel stuck.

Thyme@ankr.love
Where do we start?

Tell me a little about what you’re working on and what you need. We’ll explore the fit, then agree on a useful first step and a clear scope before any project begins.

Can we work together remotely?

Yes. Coaching, strategy, systems, and much of the creative work can happen remotely. In-person photography and filmmaking are arranged around the location and needs of each project.

What does working together cost?

Each collaboration is scoped around the work, the support you need, and your available resources. We’ll discuss the deliverables, timing, and price together before you commit.

What if I need more than one service?

That’s the reason these areas are connected. We can begin with one immediate need and shape a collaboration that connects your direction, your systems, and the way you share your work.

THE STORY BEHIND ANKR

It began
with staying.

In early 2020, I was traveling through India when the country entered lockdown. I had recently arrived in Auroville, a community devoted to human unity and sustainable living. Shortly after we arrived, the gates closed.

The friend I was traveling with had been my housemate in Seattle. Because of his visa status, he couldn’t return to the United States. I still had the option to leave, return home, and continue working as an electrician. It was a stable career that had supported me financially and offered a clear path forward.

But leaving would have meant leaving my friend behind.

I chose to stay.

What was supposed to be a short visit became several months of living in a community that approached life differently from what I had known. While much of the world was experiencing isolation, I witnessed people sharing resources, caring for one another, and responding collectively to uncertainty.

That experience became part of the foundation for ANKR.LOVE: a way to bring practical skills and creative work into service of people building something meaningful.

The work has grown through photography, filmmaking, branding, business development, and organizational systems. Again and again, the most useful work reaches beyond a single deliverable. It helps the person behind the project find clarity, build capacity, and carry the vision forward.

Today, ANKR brings those threads together. A place to connect who you are, what you’re here to do, and the structures that help you do it.

Live your mission. Share your vision.Thyme
