I founded Design By Nature as a Cogenerational Collaborative linking diverse ages and abilities into human ecosystems that are sustainable, resilient, regenerative, adaptable and replicable. Recognizing that we are nature and nature is in us at all scales, we can tackle complex challenges that “bring the community to a gradually increased awareness of the flows of energy, materials, money, and information that maintain a place. It can work only with the active involvement of a broad range of stakeholders, from school children to business people to artists”  Ecological Design, by Sim Van Der Ryn and Stuart Cowen.

Gleaned from the business, health, and personal benefits of my family’s 100+ year music business and decades of leadership roles across corporate, healthcare, non-profit, education and public domains, I facilitate nature-inspired solutions for inclusive teams to co-create their future by design.
