I get up in the morning excited by the chance you may strengthen your connection with creation. Greetings, Iām the Co-Founder of CloudsNāHumans, a design agency that crafts distinctive brand voices to strengthen identity and showcase environmental mission through engaging digital and physical designs.
My confession: Iām an atypical designer. Most recently, I was a climate tech founder partnered with LabStart to commercialize CO2 monitoring technology from the National Labs. Before that, I was an analyst at Inclusive Capital Partners where I focused on proactively allocating capital to benefit both people and the planet. My takeaway: we have the solutions.
You've read this far, so consider this: there are no āsidelinesā when it comes to our planet's health. My mission? Help you take action and find your place in our ecosystem.
