Carra is a cross-sector sustainable futures educator and interpreter, supporting creative leaders, cities and communities to co-design the transition to sustainable futures.
Combining twenty years in creativity and design with an MSc Sustainable Development in Practice (Distinction), she underpins ongoing research at the intersection of economics, enterprise, behaviour, communication and design with multiple stakeholder values and viewpoints, so every voice is heard.
Carra's career has evolved from multidisciplinary creative and design concepts - including internationally-acclaimed product innovation and highly-prescient future concepts for world-class events - to future-shaping skills and inspiration for creative leaders, cities and communities. She seeks to equip creative thinkers with clear, consistent and accessible knowledge and tools to step into their sustainable futures roles.
In addition to her practice, Carra is a Design Council Specialist Expert and an independent Doughnut Economics educator and consultant. She began exploring Doughnut Economics around 2017, attending events from 2019, and becoming a DEAL community member on its launch in 2020. Her 2021 Masters dissertation on post-growth economics communication touched on the difference between degrowth, growth-agnostic and growth-led perspectives. She was approved by DEAL as an independent Doughnut Economics educator and consultant in March 2023.
Carra actively integrates Doughnut Economics principles into various sectors/strategies such as creative enterprise and creative/design-led community climate action, runs a Doughnut Economics learning group in Bath, UK, and supports University of Bath and BANES Council with local outreach and engagement.
