A wanderer and wonderer.

I’ve spent my career exploring how change happens. The wild is where I’ve learned the most.

I’m a designer, facilitator and guide who has spent more than two decades exploring how people navigate change — from global organisations and communities to the wild landscapes that increasingly shape my regenerative work.

For 13 years, I worked at global design consultancy frog, serving as Vice President of Regenerative Design and leading its German design studio. My work took me across cultures, industries and continents, helping organisations such as Patagonia, IKEA, lululemon and Lufthansa rethink products, services, organisations and their relationship with the living world.

But some of my most important learning has happened away from the boardroom.

My work has taken me into communities in Rwanda and Myanmar, around dinner tables, along coastlines and into forests and mountains. Over time, I’ve became increasingly interested in what the natural world can teach us about navigating uncertainty: how to pay attention, adapt, let go, work with cycles rather than against them, and recognise that we are part of systems much larger than ourselves.

That curiosity led me to create The Field Trip Co.

These annual expeditions take a small groups of leaders out of their usual environments and into extraordinary landscapes. My role is less about providing answers and more about creating the conditions for better questions through walking, observation, conversation, solitude, shared meals and encounters with the people caring for the places they travel through.

Canadian by birth and now based in Bavaria, I believe good thinking needs movement, that wonder is a serious leadership capacity, and that some of the conversations we most need to have are better held on a trail or around a table than in a board room.

On each expedition, I partner with a specialist in the field to bring additional flavour to the experience.
