About Wendy Baker

I am a multimedia artist, educator, facilitator, and project manager with a knack for creating content and strategic thinking. With two decades of experience in the nonprofit sector, I have mentored young people, created impactful art, and advocated for social justice. My expertise includes managing multidisciplinary teams, developing community engagement strategies, and producing digital content.

My work in San Francisco's public schools and after-school programs focuses on the transformative power of personal narratives, storytelling, and digital media in education, community arts, and social change. Certified as a facilitator by the Center for Digital Storytelling in Berkeley, CA, I am dedicated to documenting and crafting stories that amplify the voices of those often misrepresented or underrepresented.

Throughout my career, I have prioritized listening to and sharing stories, celebrating individuality, and embracing diversity. My audio work has been featured on NPR, KALW, KPFA, and BMIR. In 2012, I launched Noodle Mania, a unique collaborative zine-making audio project that blends digitally recorded interviews, ambiance, and sound effects with real-life doodling parties, merging my media production skills with my artistic aspirations to create community-based art.

I volunteer with the Artery, the headquarters of the Burning Man Art Department in Black Rock City, and serve on the Board of Advisors at The Deviled Eggery, a community-based organization in Petaluma, CA.
