Consulting hours with Dr. Echo Rivera

Want to work with me, but need flexibility in how we approach it?

Your project is ongoing, so the materials or deliverables are still in development…

You can book my time as your consultant!

This option is helpful when you want training and/or technical assistance, and/or my design services:

…and you need some helping making a final decision.

Your project is ongoing, and there are multiple deliverables…

…so you’d like flexibility in how much you bring me in for each and/or what I do for each.

You want me to work on Zoom with you/your team collaboratively…

…but also might want me to jump in and create/edit/design some of your materials too.

If one or more of the above sounds good, then this service is a great fit for your needs.

You want me to create, edit, or design your materials…

…but may not have the full budget needed for me to complete the entire project from start to finish, so having a “do as much as you can with our budget” option is helpful.

I can help with a variety of creative communication materials*.

Infographics

Custom graphics, dataviz, models ( for reports, pubs, and publications)

Comics

Visual report summaries
& slide docs

Workbooks

Videos

Case study coming soon, but I created my first video-based online course in 2014 and also have a YouTube channel…so I can definitely help!

  • Presentations

  • Infographics

  • Visual report summaries & “slide docs”

  • Custom models, dataviz, and graphics

  • Handouts or workbooks

  • Visually engaging reports

  • Videos

  • Zines or booklets

Some materials are not eligible for “done for you” design services, and only training/technical assistance can be offered. This typically happens if the material is made using software I am not familiar with or don’t have a subscription to. If you want to confirm whether I can do design work on a product or deliverable you have in mind, contact me before purchasing.

Presentations

This is my speciality, and I help with any educational presentation — keynotes, research/evaluation project results, training workshops, job talks/teaching demos, course lectures, community education trainings, and anything along those lines.

Scope of activities

This service covers a specific menu of activities (i.e., how I will help you).

✔️

I am able to provide:

  • Training, coaching, mentoring (Recommend or instruct you on what to do, based on your goals and resources, + explain how to do so)

  • Custom resource creation (create notes, guides, or handouts based on our sessions)

  • Technical assistance (show you how to do it in the app/software)

  • Scriptwriting/storyboarding (help you refine your framing, narrative, and examples; draft/revise your scripts)

  • Graphic/information/slide design (do the design for you)

  • Video/audio editing (do the editing for you)

These activities will occur online on Zoom.

In-person meetings are option for local clients in Chicago only. Teams meetings are not available at this time.

Zoom sessions should only include 1-2 other people.

These are working sessions, and they go significantly faster when I’m working with only 1-2 people (and that same person across multiple meetings). Please designate 1-2 people on your team to work with me.

𐄂

Out of scope:

  • Group facilitation for decision making

  • Strategic planning for dissemination

  • Voice narration or presentation of materials

I am happy to join a strategic planning meeting to answer questions about what resources it would take to complete a type of material, whether it’s within my skillset, and how I could help the team create that product.

However, it is out of scope for me to lead or facilitate these meetings.

It typically makes sense to bring me in after the final materials/products have been decided or narrowed down to 2-3 choices.

A note about HHS 508 accessibility

I approach all work with accessibility and inclusion in mind, and use universal design principles as my guide.

508 accessibility includes some technical screen reader requirements that are outside of my scope.

I can help, however, help you meet most 508 requirements.
