The People
Meet the Team
A Deaf mother and son duo on a mission to make emotional literacy more inclusive, visual, and joyful for every child.
Rosa Lee Timm
Founder · Executive Leader · ASL Innovator
Rosa Lee Timm is a deaf biracial executive leader, educator, and multidisciplinary artist whose career spans more than two decades in leadership, entrepreneurship, ASL performance, and visual storytelling. She holds a Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, which informs her work at the intersection of emotional literacy, cultural identity, and accessible learning design.
Her teaching experience spans early childhood, K–12, and higher education. Rosa Lee taught ASL at the California School for the Deaf, Fremont, and later taught university-level ASL and musicality courses rooted in rhythm, expression, and embodied language.
As founder of Where Wonders Be, LLC, she continues to build educational tools shaped by deaf ways of knowing. Poundesk reflects this mission — centering social-emotional development, intuitive visual learning, and culturally responsive materials for deaf children, families, and classrooms.
She lives in Maryland and is a mother to two teenage children — one Deaf and one a CODA — grounding her work in real family experience across the Deaf and hearing worlds.
