I’m hell bent on using design to take climate action. I’m driven by the need to repair the world around us and how design can support those addressing our climate breakdown. I love impactful work, especially when it involves thinking wrong to find opportunities to make huge, meaningful social impact in unexpected ways.Thinking: What role does business play in building a future where existing climate solutions and approaches become widespread and adopted? And how can design support this?As a climate designer and strategist, it’s my job to think about that every day. Working at the intersection of design, brand, and content strategy, I help organizations achieve business goals, brand expression, and human engagement.I’m currently freelancing with design studios and climate orgs. Get in touch to discuss contract or full-time work.---Since 2016, I've become knowledgeable of the science, language, solutions, and approaches needed to address our climate emergency. While running The Determined, a design strategy and creative consulting studio for brands solving the climate crisis, our goal was to; make climate-focused projects look good, sound awesome, be seen, and get the support they need.In 2019, I co-founded Climate Designers, a global community of designers (and design adjacent creatives) across every industry who are committed to using their skills for climate action.Since 2013, I’ve been teaching undergrads in Graphic Design and Interaction Design, part time at California College of the Arts in San Francisco, CA. In 2018, I expanded that role to include teaching in the Interaction Design MDES and the MFA Design grad programs. I developed and now teach “Climate Designers @ CCA”, a class I offer to both departments and to both levels of students.Learn more about me and view my work at marcobrien.netCREATIVE & LEADERSHIP SKILLSDesign Strategy, Brand Strategy, Content Strategy, Creative Direction, Design, Leadership, Brand Development, Interaction Design, Design Education, Creative Facilitation, Producer, Social Media Marketing, Public Speaking, Thinking Wrong, Prototype Thinking, Design Thinking, User Research, User Testing, Business Models, Emerging Markets ResearchSELECT CLIENTS11th Hour Project, AirMiners, Buckminster Fuller Institute, Ecoagriculture Partners, Regenerative Agriculture Foundation, Rethink Capital Partners, Quantified Planet, Savory Institute, WWF Landscape Finance Lab, XPrizeLet's connect if you're ready to take your idea off of a Post-It.
