Meet the DEAL Community

Mahajanga/Madagascar

I am a retired MD married to a Malagasy MD. Until 2018, I used to work for the German technical cooperation as a public health specialist in various African countries. I put my focus on the effectiveness, inclusiveness and also the efficiency of basic health services. Sustainability meant for me that these services were able to be maintained after the end of external support. In other words, I focused on the inner boundaries of the "Doughnut" ignoring the growing importance of the outer limits. After retirement, I had more time to read and think "out of the box". My understanding of "sustainability" became wider and more oriented towards ecological aspects.

I am a software engineer and consultant living in Milton Keynes with my husband and family.  I am very concerned and sometimes find it overwhelming of where to start with the problems we are creating on the planet and the lack of equality and understanding of equity in the world.

City of London, England, United Kingdom

During my degree in Textile Design and Business Studies at Brighton Uni, a slight curveball led me to a series of block printing internships in Jaipur, India where I became obsessed with the environmental and social impacts of the fashion and textile sectors. I've always loved drawing and design, but found equal enjoyment in complaining about the shocking state of the industry and trying to find solutions through a mix of traditional and more modern techniques. After finishing my degree, I completed a Masters and split time between various textile experiments in the UK and travelling around India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, visiting factories and producers, from tiny, rural natural dyers and hand weavers to huge industrial manufacturers making garments for all our favourite (not!) fast fashion brands.
