About Joseph Quisol, M.Ed.
The Foundation: Creative Strategy Meets Mission Impact
My career has been built on the intersection of strategic planning, creative execution, and community engagement—the same three pillars critical to a thriving nonprofit.
As an artist, educator, and organizer with roots in the Philippines and Puerto Rico, I learned early how to craft a compelling narrative, rally an audience, and produce high-impact events with limited resources. Today, I bring that discipline and creative fire to nonprofits, helping them translate their crucial mission into clear, engaging design, powerful social media, and successful events.
Why My Background Benefits Your Nonprofit
Effective Audience Engagement & Pedagogy
My Master's of Education in Arts in Education from Harvard University focused on Critical Race Theory in Education, Transformative Justice, and the Pedagogy of The Oppressed. This training is essential for developing inclusive, transformative messaging and social media strategies that foster deep community engagement.
Deep Strategic Thinking & Organization
My academic background includes a Political Science & International Studies double-major from the Honors College at the College of Charleston (Gates Millennium Scholar), which developed my capacity for high-level strategy and analysis. This ensures your project is built on a solid, research-backed foundation.
Compelling Storytelling & Creative Design
As a recording artist and composer, I understand how to create visuals and narratives that resonate immediately. My debut album, REVELATIONS, was launched at the inaugural Arts Equity Summit, showcasing my commitment to using art for powerful, purpose-driven collaboration.
High-Impact Event Production & Budgeting
While at Harvard, I co-wrote in Vijay Iyer's Creative Music Ensemble and was awarded a $15,000 Live Arts Boston Grant from The Boston Foundation to produce live music events. This experience proves my ability to manage logistics, secure funding, coordinate complex creative teams, and deliver memorable live (and virtual) experiences.
My Commitment
I approach every consulting project as an organizer and collaborator. I don't just deliver a service; I draw from creative exercises, DIY culture, and organizing strategies to build your organization's capacity to tell its story and engage its community long after our contract is complete.
I am dedicated to helping nonprofits amplify their mission and achieve their goals for awareness, attendance, and advocacy.
Let's build a strategy that truly resonates.
