About me
I'm a designer, strategist, and consultant. My mission is to change how businesses and people think about growth, waste, design, and advertising. I'm interested in systems and solutions that address the polycrisis we live in.
I run NEW STANDARD.S – a consultancy and communication agency helping the clients we work with move from linear to circular.
