Meet the Founder

Hi I’m Ashley,

Growing up in Colorado gave me an appreciation for nature that has driven my career path in sustainability — to conserve and protect the gorgeous and diverse globe we all call home.

Since 2020, I have worked as a sustainability consultant with a focus on circularity, both in my own practice and Ernst & Young. My work has helped multinational brands, start-ups, non-profits, governments, and retailers understand, implement, and measure sustainability initiatives from conception through impact.

My experience is bolstered by technical training through earning an M.A. in Sustainability from Harvard University, as well as various graduate-level certificates in environmental policy, development, leadership, and innovation.

I take sustainability from aspiration to everyday practice using a systems-change approach.

Curious to see what’s possible? Let’s chat.
