I am a digital engagement professional for social and environmental impact, originally from India but now living in the UK for the past several years. I was first introduced to Dought Economics during my MBA days as part of our coursework and it instantly reminded me of Arundhati Roy's beautiful words from one of her essays, "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." I left my 9 year old IT career to pursue digital storytelling for that another world. And DEAL's resources are a catalyst to that. I would love to bring my digital storytelling skillset to the community and to DEAL's work while perpetually learning about how to turn their ideas into practice.

Berlin, Massachusetts, United States

Working on building the infrastructure of intentional communities: housing communities of small, ecological homes with a common house, small farm and renewable energy on site. We envision this mode of living to help lower housing costs, cost of living and increase the sense of community among those living here. We aim to be multi-generational, with the elderly aging in place and children growing up in nature.
