Co-creating
hopeful, sustainable
futures
(What does this mean?)
I’m a communication specialist, facilitator, futurer, and researcher.
I help people and organisations communicate complexity, navigate uncertainty, see around corners, and move from abstract ideas toward practical action.
All in the service of strong sustainability.
Here are some of the organisations I’ve worked with:
“Co-creating hopeful, sustainable futures.” “Strong sustainability.” Huh?
Sounds fluffy, right? It’s not. When I use phrases like these, I am not talking about pastel-coloured visions and soft words.
I’m talking about being:
- pragmatic → “This is what we know, the facts on the ground,”
- active → “So let’s do something or try something to change the facts,”
- optimistic → “Oh, we’re making things different! Let’s do more.”
And I’m not working towards any-old futures.
I am working towards hopeful, sustainable futures. These are futures where we choose strong sustainability. This is the kind of sustainability that allows us to live well, in the present and the future, without harming ecosystems, animals, and the natural world.
And I do this by putting my skills and experience to work: as a facilitator, communicator, trainer, storyteller, futures practitioner, and multi-sensory experience designer.

Futures facilitators as midwives and death doulas: witnessing disappearance
What skills do futurers and futures facilitators need to help people process almost-certain loss? As I am writing this, the concept of a “midwife for death” or a “death doula” keeps coming to mind: depending on the kind of futures facilitation we do, is it necessary for us to learn how to assist in process of both “birthing new ideas” and assisting in the process of allowing old ideas – and attachments – to die?
