i hate waste

and i know you do too

I’m not saying that I’m a hoarder, but I’ve always had a hard time throwing things away. Maybe that’s because I’ve never really believed in the concept of ‘away.’ I’ve done some research over the years, and I am fairly certain that we have not discovered a vaporizing black hole where we can deposit our trash and make it go ‘away.’ And even if we did, I’d still have an issue with discarding that value as if it were worthless.

I believe that there is value in everything...

Value in the raw materials extracted to create a product.
Value in the design and marketing of a product.
Value in the relationship that you have developed with your customer.
Value in the components of a product at the end of its useful life.

To be honest, the idea of throwing all that value away just doesn’t make sense to me.

What if instead we ADD IN some time, some inspiration, and a little bit of elbow grease? What if we find ways to maximize that value, reuse materials, and reengage with our customers over and over again? What if we can find ways to derive new forms of value by designing innovative second-life products, creating a whole new economy of jobs, and maybe even saving the planet for future generations?

Your lifestyle doesn’t need to change dramatically to live a low impact life.
Capitalism is not the final boss that must be destroyed once and for all.
The linear economy model is not the only model that exists.

With every passing day, we have more and more tools and resources at our disposal to create a more circular world. And I envision a world where mission-driven businesses develop better products that last longer, do less harm, and enhance the lives of larger communities.

Over the course of my career, I’ve gathered over 9 years of experience in operations, logistics, marketing, and strategy. I furthered my passion for reducing waste by completing an MBA in Sustainability and have dedicated myself to working with brands, small businesses, and entrepreneurs towards that vision. I’ve worked in a wide variety of industries including textiles, consumer goods, transportation services, entertainment, food & beverage, and media, and I’ve worked on projects ranging from developing end-of-life strategies to conducting full blown waste audits.

We probably won’t solve all the world’s problems overnight, but together we can start making strides towards a more sustainable future.
