PASSIONS

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.

In economic desperation, the timeline of basic needs overrides all other factors. "Desertification" is only one part of the larger challenge. If the knowledge and understanding of healthy food options are absent, food scarcity only compounds the drive toward poor nutrition. We need to increase nutritional optionality despite economic circumstance. Localized educational, production and service frameworks for urban agriculture are critical steps.

Values & Ethos

Neol presents both a platform of contrasts and a common ground for humane action. Chided (lovingly?) in my early career for willfully occupying that space "where the rubber met the sky", I have been the subtle knife of insight as well the design "other". Polarizing, perhaps, but one true thing has come into view: design is a social affair. Our competing ideologies as well as our collaborative advocacy are necessary - and I'm here for all of it.
