Growing up, I was raised to not be wasteful (mostly because things cost money). As an adult, I became aware of my consumption habits of single-use items. It dawned on me that using something for a short while and  then throwing it away just didn’t make any sense.    

The more I learnt, the more I had to unlearn. In 2018, I started sharing my journey and learnings on my Instagram (@thisisaudsomee) to bring people along  and shift mindsets.

The impact of my work goes beyond what I do within my own consultancy:  

• My workshops allows people to gain knowledge on climate science and energy, as well as create space for reflection about our role in this world.
• My webinars help corporate teams understand topics like sustainable web design, greenwashing, ethical marketing etc.    
• My consulting work guides business operations with a sustainability audit, goal setting and road mapping.
• My speaking work engages with audiences thoughtfully, challenging old ways of thinking and inspiring climate action.

My work gets people to rethink their ways of working and being, and take actions that would better our society and the environment. It is a ripple effect!

Getting businesses to see sustainability as an opportunity  instead of a cost.    

Thankfully, my clients are those who have understood the "why" and not sure about the "how" — which is where I come in. I'm focusing my time and energy on supporting those who want the help, instead of trying to convert the ones who don't. In the meantime, I will continue sharing about the business case for sustainability.

I'm most proud of giving up a long-running career in the creative industry to start my own sustainability consultancy. With that, I dedicate my working hours to climate action and only take on work that aligns with my values.
