“I can’t do THIS anymore…”

Like a cosmic 2×4 to my head, this revelation hit me while developing yet another campaign to sell more carbonated high-fructose corn syrup to the masses. In that moment, over 10 years ago as Creative Director of a prominent advertising and marketing agency, I decided I could no longer part of the problem, that it was time I become part of the solution.

My 25-year design career – working in fields as varied as fashion and sportswear, branding, advertising and product design – has afforded me the experience of working with global mega-brands such as Coca-Cola, MTV, Nike, and Paramount Pictures. But it was while studying Landscape Architecture at UCLA that I realized my life’s purpose by combining my design skills with my passion for Nature and preserving the environment. I am now on the path to certification in Sustainable Development and Permaculture Design.

I believe our outer environment has the power to transform our inner constitution in profound ways. My mission is to reconnect people to their relationship with Nature, and in turn back to themselves.
Once people experience their innate connection to natural world, I know it’s possible, as a society, we can make the world a more beautiful and sustainable place for every living being.
