Being sustainable shouldn't be a USP
I help digitally native agencies lower the carbon emissions of their products, services and digital operations by aligning digital with other sustainability efforts.
What I do
These are the ways that I can help you and your organisation understand and lower the emissions caused by your digital usage.
Webinars and workshops
Giving you and your team a solid understanding of digital sustainability and the positive impact you can have by changing your behaviour with your use of digital products and services.
Courses and training
Ensuring that everyone in your team has the knowledge to lower their digital carbon footprint within their role whether design, development or digital marketing.
Hands on involvement
As an experienced design technologist, I can be hands on in a fractional position as a developer, chief technical officer or chief sustainbility officer for your agency.

Why should I care
The internet contributes more carbon emissions than the aviation industry.
To put it in another context, if the internet was a country it'd be the 4th highest polluter in the world.
It's important to remember that when you're buying sustainability, your're also buying:
- Clout: Being seen doing the right thing when it comes to carbon reduction or net zero targets makes you instantly more attractive to both consumers and staff*;
- Cost saving: By implementing best practices when it comes to the digital products and services you create and use, you save money by reducing the amount of data used*;
- Compliance: While there's no legislation that directly targets digital emissions yet, there could be some in the future so getting in early by implementing best practices will save you time and energy in the future.
* Research into these can be shared on request.
Why work with me
I'm an extremely passionate and experienced design technologist with over 15 years experience working in and around the agency space on projects for some of the biggest names such as Accenture, Tata Steel, Speedo and B&Q.
The last 4 years have been focused on digital sustainability; the intersection of sustainability and technology including digital services. This also includes ethics, diversity and inclusion within digital products and services. Part of this has been the development of Beacon, a web page carbon calculator that estimates the impact of a webpage and helps break down where the emissions come from to give you insight into lowering it.
Above all, I care.
I care about my work and the planet and I hope you do to.
Take the first step into a greener digital future.
