I am a purpose-driven and strategic movement maker, presenter and public speaker with a hands-on approach to production. Drawing from my 8+ years of international experience in community building, storytelling, and event & content production, I thrive on connecting people and driving positive change. With a background in communication science, international relations, yoga, mindfulness, permaculture design and regenerative leadership, my mission is to rekindle the connection between people and nature. In 2019 I co-created the Amsterdam Doughnut Coalition, a grassroots movement consisting of more than 1000 people in Amsterdam who are actively applying the principles of the doughnut economy. The impact of this initiative resonated globally, leading me to speak at numerous influential conferences, ranging from Berlin to Tokyo. My insights of the doughnut economy were featured in interviews with TIME Magazine and I had the privilege to deliver a TEDx talk about a regenerative future. Finally, I founded an international community, encompassing 30+ cities worldwide, to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration in driving the adoption of the doughnut economy. Let's connect and create a regenerative future together! Watch and read about my work in the following media: TEDx talk TIME Magazine SKY NEWS YES Magazine De Standaard La Liberation

Boulder, Colorado, USA

I was born in the throes of a democratic revolution. My parents survived a war to have me. My country survived 200 years of colonization and then a genocide to achieve freedom. And my parents made sure I learned the tools to use that freedom. Within a year of my birth, 100,000 people perished in a cyclone. Near annual floods and cyclones have taken countless lives since. My city, Dhaka, changed before my eyes, swelling with climate refugees. And I realized -- the only path to collective liberation is through collective action. Everything I do is in the pursuit of that. Because I want everyone to be able to live fully. Not captured by the whims of the few, but held by the generosity of the many.

Sussex, England

I care deeply about healing the story of separation. Between humans and nature which is the root of our current ecological crisis. Between humans and humans; the divisions that hurt us through nationhood, race, religion, gender, culture. Healing the story of separation is a red thread that runs through all my work as a regenerative practitioner, bioregionalist, creative strategist and lover of all things Sussex.

Kia ora! I am privileged to have worked with Māori scientist Teina Boasa-Dean to translate the doughnut into Te Reo Māori to provide the context for NZ's nascent circular economy. Teina reimagined the doughnut from an indigenous perspective, with the environment as foundation. Together with Priti Ambani I co-founded www.projectmoonshot.city - a podcast and blog exploring the big questions around creating resilient and regenerative cities. In collaboration with the Planetary Accounting Network (PAN) and others, Project Moonshot is creating NZ's first Regenerative Action Lab, drawing from DEAL. I am Sustainability Lead at energy co Vector. I chair the NZ Circular Economy Advisory Board and the Battery Industry Group, which is creating a circular product stewardship scheme for large batteries.

I am an economist and a public policy & sustainability professional. I have experience with the public budget of Rio de Janeiro city and state, and knowledge in the federal budget arena of Brazil. In 2020, I looked at the sustainability assessment capabilities of the major pension funds of the world and how they compare to other institutional investors. Recently, I looked into the conflict of budget planning between the monetary authority and the public retirement and pension system of Brazil. In my undergraduate studies, I felt similar discomfort and dissonance as Raworth when studying economics and I would like to see incorrect and refuted ideas in the field give way to more human and real ones.

Bath, BANES, UK.

With 15+ years of experience across climate, health, enterprise, design and innovation, I bring boundary-spanning skills to social and behavioural change projects - bridging disciplines, sectors, and perspectives to create systems-aware, people-centred strategies. By blending behavioural insight, social theory, systems thinking, and design-led methods, I help policy, development, and creative professionals build strategies and communications that are grounded in lived experience and connected thinking. I began exploring Doughnut Economics around 2017, attending events from 2019, and becoming a DEAL community member on its launch in 2020.  My interest in economics increased during my 2021 'Sustainable Development in Practice' Masters dissertation on narrative framing and communication of degrowth practices to UK business leaders, which examined the difference between degrowth, growth-agnostic and growth-led perspectives. I started the Doughnut Economics group in Bath, UK in 2022 which evolved into Collaborative Bath in 2024, which I ran until May 2025. I continue to support it ad hoc, and a number of councils, universities and enterprises with local outreach and engagement. Email me or join me on LinkedIn.

I am an expert in marine sustainability. The "blue economy" is the new buzzword in ocean management, and I think we urgently need to apply the principles of doughnut economics to the way in which we interact with the ocean.  Human survival depends on the ocean, but we don't live there - we only ever visit. This makes our relationship with the ocean (3/4 of our planet!) very different from our relationship with the land. I see a lot of doughnut initiatives centred on cities and communities, but in the ocean we have no equivalent to municipalities with resident human populations (in fact, much of the ocean is beyond national jurisdiction). And yet, we visit, use, and impact on the ocean in many different ways. I love the existing green doughnut and all the tools that scale it down to particular localities, but where is the equivalent blue doughnut? The images, stories, tools and methods that help us apply the doughnut principles to the context of the blue economy?
