I explore, design, and cocreate creative approaches to sustainability transitions in cities, regions, enterprises, and and institutions.
Biography
I am an interdisciplinary artist and sustainability transitions architect combining community-driven urbanism, new economic thinking, and eco-social innovation. My goal is to use the power of creativity and the arts to weave economic systems that distribute wealth and regenerate the planet, not by accident by but design. I believe that this is needed and possible within this century.
I studied earth system science, philosophy, and economics in Europe and the US, always curious about the ways in which people resist planetary breakdown and create new, hopeful beginnings. Grounded in principles of care, craft, and creativity, my professional experience includes roles as a musician, writer, speaker, founder, lecturer, consultant, artist, and community organizer.
