Blossom is a collaborative media project designed to take us from doom to bloom.Years of working on climate change communications has taught us that doom-and-gloom doesn’t work to mobilize mass action. We need narratives that speak to solutions and a sense of possibility. Blossom is a space to explore and build those new narratives with a growing, global collective of people rethinking how we live in this broken world while trying to build a new one.In Winter '23-24, we launched Blossom Box: A little box of big questions that helps you explore ways to reimagine the future. After selling out of our '24-25 box within days of opening orders, we're now seeking publishers and partners to build Blossom's next chapter.

Pleasant Street is my independent creative practice, delivering stories and strategies with heart. I'm lucky to do work that lets me learn from and collaborate with incredible humans across disciplines — from climate scientists to Olympic athletes. Recent projects include:+ Narrative direction and writing for Nike's Olympics reactives, building OOH and social content to celebrate sponsored athletes' wins from the command center in Paris during the games. + Strategic messaging and copywriting to grow Mercy Corps' programs, from climate resilience initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa to refugee self-reliance programming in the Middle East.+ Upfront strategic messaging for Oregon Health & Science University's Health Equity program, designed to deliver a deeper kind of care for all patients.+ Narrative direction for Nike on their Women's World Cup campaign, connecting elite athletes with youth soccer teams in the U.S. and France.+ Editorial storytelling to help launch a rebrand for OMSI, the beloved local museum where I learned about science as a kid.+ Narrative strategy and copywriting in support of Girl Rising's initiative to drive investment in girls’ education as a climate solution.Portfolio at emilyejensen.com [update coming Winter 2025]
