ISSUE 090 | June 2025

It’s been a full few weeks - I’ve just signed a book deal on sustainable building materials and I’m heading to the Passivhaus Australia conference in Melbourne later this week. If you’ll be there too, let me know - love to say hi!

 In this edition: a quick update on my carbon neutral certification, an EOFY reminder to support wildlife carers through Prints for Wildlife, and a peek at my latest piece in UPPERCASE on biomimicry in design.

 It’s a short read, with some links and ideas that might be helpful in your own work.

I’m carbon neutral!

This is the fifth year my business has been certified carbon neutral - part of a growing movement of businesses taking real, science-backed action on climate. The Climate Label is one way to show what accountability can look like. If you’re curious about getting certified yourself, you can learn more below or get in touch.

Prints with purpose

It's almost EOFY, and therefore a great time to donate some money to the Prints for Wildlife sanctuaries - if you've been eyeing any off, please consider pulling the trigger this week so I can send more funds through for our precious wildlife. The wildlife carers are beyond amazing, they do an incredible job, and I'd love it if you can help me support them!⁠

100% of profits from this Prints for Wildlife series go directly to the shelters.

In the press

Another of my eco columns is out now in UPPERCASE Issue 65 - this one’s on biomimicry: how nature’s patterns and processes are inspiring sustainable design solutions, from shark-skin surfaces to tree bark textures. The magazine is made in Canada with no Aussie distributor, but you can access via their website.
