Designing and facilitating The Sustainability Leadership Laboratories at The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership.

♻️   Circular Economy🏕️   Sustainable Cities
We devised a design sprint to take participants through a process of imagining themselves and their organisations fully participating in a circular and regenerative economy.

Areas I'm passionate about

As creative leaders with a shared commitment to quality, collaboration, and creativity, we're proud to pursue out most meaningful work and deliver the best every time.
