I am a seasoned Business Developer with extensive experience from the Lifestyle & Design and Robotics industries.  My commitment to sustainability has led me on a self-funded I transition to a Purpose-Driven Sustainability Advocate where I am exploring the convergence of technology, human behavior, and overproduction in the fashion industry.  I discovered Doughnut Economics through a LinkedIn post, and it immediately resonated with me. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it an easily digestible Framework for developing action plans to transition companies towards a regenerative and distributed design approach. I joined DEAL community as I am keen to learn more about the concept and what is already happening in Denmark and how I can help locally aswell as globally.

I’m a wife, a mother and a businesswoman. I am passionate about doing the right thing and I feel societies focus far too much on economic growth strategies which over time, have led to massive wealth disparities and constant boom and bust cycles. GDP is everywhere! I am a Chartered Financial Adviser and I see this constantly within the Stock Markets I advise people to invest in. I firmly believe there is a better way and the doughnut feels like a great place to aim for.  I do get disheartened though, by the lack of focus in the industry I am a part of, but I also believe it is an industry which can make a difference. Money and investment do make things happen.  I have come to DEAL as I want the world to change, I want political systems in the UK to change and become more forward thinking about the long term future. Stop thinking about the next few months and years and instead imagine what we will look like in 100 years. For that to look healthy, we need changes now and to me, Doughnut Economics brings some practical solutions and ideas which communities can adopt.

Tomorrow’s economies and organizations of all kind won’t be about creating profits for shareholders. It will definitely be about improving the state of the world and driving human value. As we’ve been living in the Anthropocene -the one of a human-influenced age, and maybe the greatest of all time- all the existing paradigms we've built our society and economic systems upon have now become obsolete. The 12.000 years since the last ice age during which all human civilization developed is now a thing of the past. Today, HUMANITY is facing its biggest and serious challenges ever. Finding new equations to advancing human potential(s) and solve the crisis of this deliquescent civilization is of paramount importance in our exponential and ubiquitous world. In fact it should be the concern of everyone. I'm starting with the man in the mirror! 2010 was a wake up call for me and I've decided to serve the greater good to enable change and power an ontologically conscious economy. I believe in our capacity to use technologies wisely, consciously and purposefully. We did it in the past but today it's the only way we for us to transition and shape the course of history. A change like never before to save us from that collective madness that may lead us to our own extinction. So I've created a global collective of radical thinkers aiming at creating positive shifts through conscious embodiment and enactivism. But more than a company what I've designed as an "Innovation Collective & Systemic Design Studio" is a symbiotic, dynamic, and unconventional ecosystem designed to shift people’s thinking. A place where singular ideas can flourish because everyone connects and inspires others to go beyond the limits of the current frame of perception.
