1 / SUSTAINABLE POSITIONING STRATEGY

We define key priorities for a viable strategy that will establish, increase or solidify a brand’s commitment to people and the planet.

After a deep dive into the client’s values and motivations, we implement creative and technical workshops to map processes and impact. Next, we identify opportunities and propose a plan of sustainable action with clear and feasible initiatives.

2 / DESIGN AND PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

We are product experts who believe in creating positive change through meaningful design and regenerative supply chains.

By identifying relevant material and manufacturing impact and dependencies, we create products and supply chain strategies that aim to regenerate nature and help communities flourish.

In the Global South, we engage with and support local production networks in business with fashion, home, wellness, food, beverage, and skincare brands, tailoring solutions to each place’s unique bioculture. We can:

— Source available materials. — Partner with organizations operating at the source of regenerative sourcing and material extraction. — Collaborate with technical teams for improved/healthier material manufacturing, washing, dyeing and finishing. — Research and manage fiber development/testing in partnership with start-ups, labs, and innovators. — Develop recycling projects with specialized partners. — Facilitate custom textiles by designers and traditional weavers, supporting the longevity of ancient techniques and bringing economic development that regenerate communities. We establish Design and Production Guidelines. This way, teams have a clear set of technical requisites that support decision-making aligned with sustainable positioning. We also create and update material databases that can be consulted by design, buying, and production teams now and in the future.

BIO

I am a sustainability strategist specializing in regenerative systems.

At Farfarm, I work with forward-thinking companies and the support sustainable development funds to develop traceable supply chains that regenerate nature and promote social development. During the past 4 years, I have balanced hands-on fieldwork – proudly working closely with family farmers, spearheading educational programs and growing my technical knowledge in agroecological and agroforestry systems – with guiding and reporting to sustainability and innovation teams. Farfarm is a Climate Ventures winner, and has been accelerated by FashionForGood and AmazôniaUP.

I am a Strategy Lead at Fibershed, a non-governmental organization nurturing regional fiber systems that build soil & protect biosphere health. We create opportunities for standing-forest fiber extractivists, farmers, and artisans, and offer educational programs for a broader design community.

I advise entrepreneurs and start-up companies oriented by design and quality on sustainable brand development, from brand and product DNA to operations.

I also work with research offices investigating movements and creating narratives that help companies understand the future and brands become relevant in the cultural sphere.
