I am a Climate Creative.
The future of the planet depends on a decisive shift away from pollution to solution. That’s why I’ve signed the Creatives for Climate commitment to divest from climate destruction and support creative solutions for climate action.
So, what’s this mean? I am a certified anti-greenwashing sustainability specialist and creative working exclusively with clients who support climate action (no big polluters here).
