Keith Yamashita has dedicated a life to creating a world that’s more creative, more beautiful, more just, more inclusive. He is a co-founder of The Institute for Moral Imagination (TIMI).

We live in a species-defining era. TIMI ignites humankind’s creativity—so we can imagine and build a future in which we all thrive.

TIMI undergirds artists, change-makers, leaders, and everyday citizens with the nourishment, inspiration, deep muscle, and capacities to claim their full agency in building preferred futures.

In past lives, Keith founded and led SYPartners for nearly 30 years (a transformation consultancy), the kyu collective (one of the world’s largest creative collectives), and This Human Moment (an online community working through the suffering of the pandemic to find a new humanism on the other side). Keith holds an M.A. in Organizational Behavior and a B.A. in Quantitative Economics from Stanford University.
