sustainability consulting

I have 10+ years in sustainable food systems and humanitarian work across the UK, Asia and East Africa. My work is a mosaic of advocacy, systems-level strategy, partnerships, co-design and facilitation — towards more just, interconnected futures

  • Sustainability strategy: development, implementation, engagement & learning

  • Creative facilitation for strategic visioning, values, theories of change & new projects

  • Enable organisational change towards regenerative, inclusive and adaptive ways of working and being.

  • Develop strategic partnerships, generate income, and embed learning

From factory floors to field sites to offices, I’ve leveraged intrapreneurship to evolve strategy in the UN, local NGOs and private businesses - towards deeper, sustained social and environmental impact.

I help organisations develop and implement creative sustainability strategies - and the associated innovative programmes, partnerships and learning agendas.

At the core: creativity and collaboration - drawing on the arts, the senses, spiritual discourse, systems theory and ecology.

To seed and sustain genuinely regenerative projects, we need to think and act systemically, listen deeply, and practise mature sense-making—attending to unheard voices (nature and under-represented communities) and to the inter-relational dynamics of living systems.

I’m increasingly focused on facilitation for social transformation - recalibrating our own vitality and, with it, the vitality of the systems we’re part of (nutrition and rest; stories and mindsets; relationships with each other and the environment; courageous processing of trauma; intimacy with the present).
