DESIGN STUDIO PARTNERSHIP
DESIGN STUDIO PARTNERSHIP
Supporting designers to put climate at the core of their work
A designer’s skills are needed by frontline climate entrepreneurs, advocates, and activists
I help design studios become aware of the power and responsibility they have in making climate-forward design decisions.
BRAND
BUILDING
Amplifying nascent climate industries to become widespread and adopted
The important climate work is just on the horizon
EVs, solar, wind are already here. I'm looking the other way, building brands focused on regenerative solutions and approaches so that people fund, work for, and support these efforts.
COLLECTIVE
ACTION
Helping organizations rally their people to come together and build a regenerative future
Systems change along with culture and paradigm shifts are key to creating a thriving world
We need a level of movement building never seen before, which has the potential of opening up our collective consciences to reveal our interconnectedness to nature, each other, and ourselves.
