Hi, Im Joel, 

​​

Writing about yourself on the internet without sounding like a wanker is surprisingly difficult. But here we go...

​​​​​

Joel is a creative, entrepreneur, systems thinker, and someone trying to navigate modern life without completely losing the plot.

​

Born and raised in Aotearoa New Zealand, his work now spans sustainability, business innovation, tourism, technology, education, and the strange intersection between humans, nature, and modern systems.

​

Over the years this has somehow involved leading international expeditions, developing renewable energy projects, building bamboo playgrounds in the jungle, helping organisations rethink sustainability, and occasionally disappearing into nature to recalibrate.
