Hi, I am your futuring guide
Years of climate change and sustainability advocacy, whilst advising organisations in the creative industry, have taught me creative leaders and foresight piers need a regeneration reboot.
The World Building framework and our tailored experience reassess futures thinking and doing, and equip you with a new toolkit. Along the way you commit to community. To quote the futurist Jane McGonigal: "Finding and sharing signals of change is the most essential habit of futures thinking."
I hope you will join Trend Atelier and myself as your guide. We are on a mission to drive change and redefine foresight as a force for bold future visions, not trend fetichism. But we need more than good intentions. We need the method, philosophies and community to explore, envision and implement, together.
