Who is this for?

For digital, industrial, and urban designers—The inherent systems thinking in non-human personas helps ‍all designers and innovators zoom out to see the bigger picture and innovate business models and user/citizen behaviours. Even digital designers find this learning expands their skills and career opportunities.

For sustainability and climate professionals—Give your environmental and social goals more life to more deeply engage the empathy of the organisation and decision-makers.

For innovators and coaches—Inspire and guide your clients and students to expand their human profit-focused goals to include the needs of all life and develop strategies to support existing regulatory models.

I am the voice of the trees who were taken to make the product I speak from.

We, the trees, gave shade, clean air, homes for countless creatures, and the gift of oxygen for you to breathe. We cooled the earth, held the soil, and stored the carbon that would have otherwise harmed you.

Now, as a user of this product, you are part of this legacy, and a custodian of the things we once were. 

I ask you to honor the role we played for your planet. Where we are taken, help new trees rise, and protect those who still stand tall. Nurture them as they nurture you, for your future is rooted in our regeneration.
