Since 2016, I have shared my journey in sustainable entrepreneurship, circular design, and business innovation with audiences across industries, from students and policymakers to corporate leaders and industry practitioners.

My talks focus on real-life implementations, offering practical, experience-driven insights that help organisations and individuals navigate their sustainability goals.

Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, or public outreach, I like to engage audiences with straightforward, actionable solutions—bridging the gap between green business, policy, and industry progress.
