Hi my climate cuties!

I have just too much to tell you I don’t even know where to begin. This month has been a whirlwind. 

  • I turned 30 

  • I found a new apartment in Park Slope. Brooklyn friends, message me! 

  • I just got back from TED Countdown conference in Detroit

  • I went to a yoga retreat to see Elizabeth Gilbert

  • I got wrist surgery

  • I got Covid for the first time

  • I was obsessed with working on my coloring book about climate change and I have 40 pages done

TED Countdown was so epic. I got to go with one of my best friends Dulma Altan and we had the best of times. I saw Al Gore give a spicy talk, visited Our Next Energy and learned about how they’re working on longer storage batteries for EVs, and met a ton of brilliant people from all around the world.

The ONE office was unreal. They have vintage EVs from 1910 and original charging stations. 

I also practiced live drawing during the conference and making some silly cartoons. I am TERRIBLE at drawing humans but I still love them in an endearing way. 

For my climate patrons I’m doing a special gift this month where you get a 30 minute free creativity consulting session with me! And if want to upgrade to be a patron, just scroll to the bottom.
