Hello!
I'm Josh

I'm a Sustainability Communication Designer helping small businesses, purpose-driven brands, and local governments toward a circular, regenerative future.

I specialize in adapting existing design methodologies and frameworks in more environmentally-sound and community-minded ways. My approach combines ideas in systems thinking, biomimicry, collaborative storytelling, and my background in visual design to create solutions that give back more than they take.

How We'll Work

Clarify Strategy

Organize goals, audiences, and next steps through facilitated discovery and visual mapping.

Tell A Story

Craft grounded, meaningful messages, not generic environmental claims.

Design Useful Tools

Create reports, websites, marketing, or other materials that help people understand and encourage participation.
