Hi, I’m Sam.
I’m a strategist, storyteller, and researcher working at Intentional Futures, a boutique idea-to-impact consultancy. My work focuses on helping leaders and teams understand how their organizations and products affect people and planet. I lead our emerging Regenerative Design work which seeks to restore the balance between business and nature to create net positive social and ecological outcomes.
