I’m Anna Oommen! I started Patterns & Praxis Consulting because I kept seeing the same gaps. Gaps between values and practice, vision and execution, strategy and care. After years of leading programs, trainings, and campaigns across sectors, I wanted to create a space where all of those pieces could come together.

This work is rooted in everything I’ve learned as a queer woman of color, a longtime organizer, and a systems thinker. I’ve built coalitions, trained public servants, supported cultural change inside rigid institutions, and helped movements grow stronger from the inside out. Through it all, I’ve stayed focused on what actually works and what it takes to get there.

Patterns & Praxis is my way of helping people and organizations move with more alignment, more clarity, and more collective power. Whether it’s a workshop, a strategy session, or a conversation that helps shift perspective, this practice is about building toward the future we keep saying we want.
