Helping brands build sustainability into their business

As an independent consultant, I help startups, small businesses, and challenger brands define what sustainability means to them and meaningfully act on it.

My approach to change-making is grounded in pragmatic idealism — I think big while working in the realm of what is practical and possible.

  • Clinics

    If you have a specific question to explore or idea you want feedback on, I offer 90-minute clinics over Zoom. I’ll review any materials you share before we meet and follow up afterwards with written recommendations and useful resources.

  • Sprints

    If you want to build a framework for your sustainability work or put a specific program or process in place, I offer six-week sprints. After aligning on specific deliverables, I’ll facilitate a half-day workshop to level up your teams understanding of relevant concepts and get everyone on the same page. Then I’ll create the frameworks, checklists, and templates you need to make things happen.

  • Advisory

    If you’re looking for support developing a product or implementing a strategy, I offer ongoing advisory services. I’ll offer feedback and guidance over bi-monthly calls and be responsive over email for questions between our catch-ups.
