Welcome…
I’ve made this space to take a step back and reflect reflect on environmental change and how we make sense of it. To think about the stories we tell – how they serve us, for good and ill – and if and how we can tell them differently and better.
Much of my career to date has been spent working on strategy, policy and projects in local and regional government, undertaking or drawing upon research and stakeholder engagement. I’ve worked on sustainability and climate change issues with communities, companies, homes and workplaces. I’m also used to turning ambition into projects and programmes, from the small and local to the large and national. If you’d like to talk about any of that kind of work, you’re welcome to get in touch.
In my work – and through observing the challenges and action elsewhere – I’ve come to see what whilst there are still many technology challenges to address, the social and cultural challenges are often harder to address. That’s why I’m now undertaking a PhD, exploring how we can better connect what people think and feel about their homes with action to reduce their environmental impact. It is also what prompted me to make this site – as a space to explore and reflect in public. Looking at the stories we tell, how they’ve come about and whether they serve us – whilst trying to make sense of, and within, the uncertainty of the times.
We need new stories...
