“I imagine a world where people live in harmony with the rest of nature. I’m helping to create that world by developing regenerative business models that are designed around natural processes. This project is inspired by Native American philosophies, taught by Tom Brown, Jr at the Tracker School, the resource allocation models of Buckminster Fuller, and the universal truths taught by Carl Sagan.”
“Once Mark told me how bees have thrived for 100 million years, I had to start drawing their story. What I learned is incredible.”
