You might be:

• A purpose-driven initiative, a sensory-led brand, or an organization yearning for creative breakthroughs, where ideas feel textured, new, and capable of ushering in the world we know is possible

• An organization or brand sensing a shift in both its community and the wider collective, yet unsure how to authentically connect and cultivate deeper relationships

• A land-based organization, like a sugar bush, apiary, orchard, or dairy farm, envisioning seasonal gatherings that blend ancestral wisdom, hands-on craft, and deep reconnection with the land

• A regenerative retreat/hotel space exploring a new kind of luxury, where narrative activations connect guests to land, art, ecology, and lessons on living with care

Whether you’re just beginning and are enthusiastic about ideating on your big dreams, or you’re already established and are looking for a creative refresh, Emergence offers a co-creative space for visioning and birthing what’s next for you.

Our work shapeshifts depending on what’s needed. Our projects take many forms and include, but are not limited to:

• Concepts for creative, place-based experiences

• Simple, yet artful brand rituals and activations

• Seasonal ideas that root your organization in time, place, and feeling

• Concepts for guerilla marketing that are deliciously unconventional yet easily achievable

• Ideas that express your brand’s values, gently push the status quo, and shift culture through resonance

• Thought-partnership and workshops on understanding how your brand can be future-focused and Earth-rooted

We thrive on the edges, transforming creative constraints into elegant systems, and limitations into beautiful opportunities. Where you might be feeling stuck or boxed in, we see possibility, excited by the chance to disrupt the ordinary, challenge outdated norms, and guide you through innovation, experimentation, and the simplicity of old-world wisdom.

Please Note: My role in this offering is centered around ideation, regenerative strategy, and concept development. Like an architect, I provide the vision, ideas, and creative framework, but the implementation and build-out will be carried forward by your internal team or collaborators who will then bring the vision to life.

Brands partner with Forage and Sustain when they’re ready to disrupt the ordinary. When the transactional no longer resonates, and traditional approaches start to feel hollow or disconnected from what your audiences and communities truly desire.

You might partner with us:

• When growth has pulled you away from your original vision, and you’re looking to reconnect to your deeper purpose

• When you’re seeking a partner who can navigate complexity with care, weaving culture, community, and ecology into strategy

• When building trust and connection takes precedence over chasing attention

• When you’re looking to artfully embody your values, and become a leader in creating powerful cultural shifts  

• When you’re ready to move beyond surface-level sustainability, into practices that honour both ancestral wisdom and emergent futures

Your luxury sustainable hotel offers yoga, garden-to-glass cocktails, and zero plastic waste, yet guests still leave without a sense of place. How are you connecting them to the land they’ve traveled to?

Your footwear has a cult following amongst alternative communities that celebrate non-conformity, but in what ways does your brand give back to the very streets those shoes walk?

Through creatively blending the old with the new, the ancestral with the emergent, we guide your brand into thought arenas that explore experiential concepts that bridge worlds – the urban and the understory, the marketplace and the mythical, the technological and the tender-hearted – so that we create future-conscious systems that are truly supportive of our collective and planetary wellbeing.

Art, beauty, and storytelling are essential to the human experience, evoking emotion and connection on a somatic level, far beyond what facts or information can do. When people feel connected to a story, they are more likely to become invested in the message. Knowing this, our work answers the question those of us operating at the intersection of the future and the felt are asking – how do we create a higher standard of humankind, and how do we do this by returning to our most genuine selves?

We want to create a future of integrity, care, soulfulness, and remembrance, and we’ve come to understand that story, beauty, and joy are how we get there. In a culture where separation has become a dominant practice, and where fear and sameness have become profitable, we look at how your brand or organization can become part of creating experiences and opportunities that encourage nuance and delightfulness. We shift your gaze away from hydroponic futures that promise results but that have no roots, and instead, guide you towards ancestrally emergent realities that are radical in their simplicity.
