Past Work & Projects
You may know me as the Sustainability Manager at EcoEnclose- the industry-leader in sustainable, circular packaging.
There, I develop tools, resources, and thought-leadership for brands of all sizes, and guide EcoEnclose's vision towards circular packaging. I'm passionate about reducing the impact that packaging has on our natural environment, which is why I use science-based methodologies, and make my tools and research available to the public.
