Over the last 25 years I’ve worked and practised as a DJ, facilitator, design researcher, communications strategist, writer, campaigner, co-designer, activist, artist and nature guide.

From 1995 I spent a decade working in the emerging dance music culture, music web start up and finally as a design researcher in mobile technology NPD.

In 2006 I fell down a climate change hole while researching a project, I’ve never really come back up.

In 2008 I established Naked Planet - one of the UK’s first sustainable brand communications practices at Naked Communications.

In 2010 I completed a two year action learning MSc in Sustainability and Responsibility and spent the following 12 years working intensely with courageous businesses, NGO’s, campaigners, foundations, activists, artists, designers, social entrepreneurs, scientists, ecologists, wisdom teachers and place based communities.  

Prototyping, co-creating and launching campaigns, platforms, products, creative collaborations, mobilisations and movements attempting to slow down the destruction of our living Earth and to put life at the centre.

In parallel I began my own personal re-wilding journey, working with a wide range of teachers and practitioners who have helped me re-connect and deepen my understanding of a vast web of more than human life.

In the following decade I co-founded Good for Nothing, Swarm Partners,  The Wild Network and We Are Ocean collectives. Initiatives designed to convene people in radical collaboration, to harness creativity, community and collective energy towards meaningful change for people and nature, while pioneering new ways of co-creating and mobilising - open, emergent, self-organising.

You can explore some of these projects here.

I’ve collaborated with teams in many different types of organisation - including Nokia, Google, Patagonia, Unilever, Finisterre, The UN, The Global Goals, Ecover, Boston Tea Party Cafes, Boots, Girl Effect/Nike Foundation, RSPB, National Trust, Marine Conservation Society, Common Seas, City to Sea, The Green Economy Coalition, Wellbeing Economy Alliance, Extinction Rebellion and UKSCN to name a few.

In 2018 I started The Spaceship Earth Podcast from the studio in my garden. The podcast was shortlisted in the climate category in the British Podcast Awards in 2022.

In 2020 I co-authored Stories for Life, which explores the power of cultural stories and narratives in shaping the design of human economic systems and our ways of relating to the Earth. An offering to support cultural narrative change - it has been widely acclaimed and continues to spread.

In 2021 on the back of the podcast, I began guiding peer supported action learning courses for creative activists and regenerative change makers through Becoming Crew.

My core work today is grounded in an entanglement of story, culture, community, climate and nature - cultivating regenerative and life-centric communities, facilitating creative activism, mobilising climate action, encouraging and supporting a deepening of our relationship with the more than human world and creative experimentation in unravelling times.

I continue to host the podcast, write, speak and hold space in organisations, conferences, festivals and facilitate and guide collaborations.

I have worked, collaborated and learned with and from so many amazing humans and more than humans and have been inspired and shaped by the actions, thinking and writing of many more, past and present.
