Personal Doughnut Template
A template to develop a personal doughnut

This tool is to help individuals make a personal version of the doughnut. The aim is to provide guidance on lowering our impact on the earth whilst increasing social purpose and positive ways of being, helping the individual and household to thrive. There is no right or wrong way to do this, just the act of thinking about it is incredibly productive. Working with peers provides a supportive and encouraging environment to consider what action to undertake.

I’m a designer, educator, artist and entrepreneur, combining all roles to respond to the current climate & consumption crisis. I’ve designed functional apparel for big brands and ethical brands, I’ve also founded and run creative businesses and exhibited as a textile artist. I teach at graduate level, developing curricula compatible with the challenges we face. I want to find a role for the designer in a society reducing its reliance on consumption. Through Doughnut Economics I want to design and develop a better future for all.

I work as a project manager and IT consultant and see myself as a navigator and explorer in the world of collaboration, the design of new working environments and the use of digital tools. I am a forest dweller, a nature, music and sports lover with an open and curious mindset. Since I worked with "system dynamics" in my student years, I have a systemic and holistic view of the world. I think the doughnut can be a helpful model to tackle some of the significant challenges of the 21st-century.

Hello! Olá! I am a firm believer in the Doughnut Economics - as a good rogue economist!! I have two children and I really do want Economic thinking and acting to change, to see a clean, fair, just and sustainable World for them to grow and thrive in! Utopia? I am interested in rural food poverty in "rich countries" and how we can wiggle out of it using the Doughnut! I also believe that children are our future, and we should strive to include "doughnuts" in our children's education, as early and as often as possible. So, if you can, please HELP!
