Meet the DEAL Community

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

Hopefully well-rounded human, working at continuously learning to be better at it. I work in arts & culture by passion & desire, and in web development and management by fluke and ability to sustain my family. I revel in being a grandma, and love wandering among ancient trees and waterways. Helping my community move in thoughtful, progressive directions is where I spend my volunteer time, though there are so many ways that can happen I struggle to find a clear focus. I'm fascinated and invigorated by this concept of doughnut economics, and am excited to broaden my scope of understanding to be able to help my community embrace and implement it.

Oxford, England, United Kingdom

 I have worked in the construction industry for the past 25 years as a change and improvement project manager. I am now semi-retired and pursuing all the interests that have taken a back seat for so many years. I'm exploring Doughnut Economics because I believe our society at all levels is fundamentally broken. Doing the same things and expecting different results is futile. Doughnut Economics is the first time I've seen an alternative vision of human behaviour and responsibility that I believe can change things.

Old Goa, Goa, India

My interest lies in the intersection of a circular economy, waste management, sustainable design, and arts. I pursued a master’s degree in energy management from the University of Twente, The Netherlands where I worked on multiple projects that dealt with facilitating a circular economy in Europe. I was moved by the deep connection between how efficient design can aid the process of sustainable development and that’s where I found his purpose in starting One By Two designs. When I am not working on professional ventures I prepare for ultra-marathons and also make films. Subsequently, I want to build a platform for a self-sufficient organic farming community and off-grid living
