My talks and keynotes are catalysts of resourceful ideas, strategies and approaches to enable individuals, cities and institutions achieve more with their existing assets.
Employing creative strategy, circular economy principles and repurposing approaches, I provide first-hand global experience, research and positive, results-based concepts to show how cities and institutions can leverage what is already at hand for maximum benefit.
To discuss how my talk could be a catalyst for resourceful change in your city or institution, please contact me.
