TLDR; Check out marcobrien.net to learn more.

I have my eye on a few companies as well as climate spaces that interest me, but I would love to learn about others.

Who’s working on bold, provocative, and systemic-changing work that rebalances Earth’s living systems?

What companies or orgs are launching wildly imaginative approaches or solutions?

What new spaces or industries are you seeing that are working towards a just transition away from extractive industries by creating new ones that benefit all living beings?

Any suggestions or connections would be greatly appreciated. I’m eager to start this new chapter. And, with your help, I can expand my search.

Oh, and what about The Determined? Well, we had a great run. Since 2016, I’ve honed my expertise at applying a variety of design talents with climate science, policy, and behavior, which resulted in a number of successful brand, campaign, product, and service launches.

While we’re closing up the studio, we’re full speed ahead with Climate Designers, a community of designers (and design adjacent creatives) across every industry who are committed to using their skills for climate action. We’re now focused on setting up Climate Designers to become a sustainable, cooperative business.

I’m 100% focused on continuing to amplify climate solutions and approaches. There’s plenty of work to do. Let’s go!

Now, I’m looking for my next design leadership role.
