About Idea Alchemy

Transformative Leadership Through Creativity and Strategy

I’m Christa Heydt-Hernandez,

a practitioner and educator in creative problem-solving and systems thinking.

With certifications in Applied Creative Thinking, Creative Education, Prosci Change Management and more, I specialize in helping organizations foster innovation, solve complex challenges, and adapt to change.

My background combines a passion for a deep understanding of systems and human-centered design and education in the science of creativity, empowering teams to think differently and achieve meaningful results. I’ve spent the last 20 years helping Fortune 50 teams thrive by aligning people, processes, and systems.

Along the way, I’ve been inspired by the natural world—its rhythms, interconnectedness, and adaptability. Just as ecosystems flourish through balance and collaboration, I believe businesses grow best when they focus on unlocking the creativity, connections, and potential of their people.

My work is grounded in the belief that creativity is a natural force—one that many of us have been trained out of but can rediscover and cultivate. I’m here to guide you and your team on that journey. Whether we’re defining the most critical challenges, developing the right environment for ideas to thrive, or delivering impactful, clear strategies, my goal is to help you and your organization achieve sustainable growth and success.

I am passionate about bridging the gap between analytical rigor and human insight. Together, we’ll build a culture where creative problem-solving, strategic decision-making, and engagement drive lasting success.

Let’s work together to create systems that value people, embrace opportunity, and drive measurable outcomes. Together, we’ll build the tools, mindsets, and cultures that lead to lasting success.
