I started as a library page and an informal educator, dreaming up science adventures between shelving books. Two decades later, I’ve launched STEAM initiatives, led outreach programs, and co-created immersive educational experiences that blend story, strategy, and science. I’ve sat in nearly every seat—public librarian, grant writer, business owner, teacher, and program director—which means I don’t just understand your challenges… I’ve lived them.

K.M. Ford Strategies was born from one core belief:

 

Big ideas stall without strategy. But with the right support, they move mountains.

​

I specialize in helping libraries, museums, local governments, and nonprofits bring their boldest visions to life—through custom-designed STEM/STEAM programs, community-rooted partnerships, and practical solutions that reach the people who need them most.

​

Whether it’s crafting story-driven learning kits, designing hands-on exhibits, or guiding organizations through complex cross-sector collaborations, I build with purpose, not pretense.

This isn’t just a job for me. It’s a calling—and I’d be honored to help bring your mission to life.
