Hello!

Thought Leader and Innovator Driving Sustainable Change

Hi there! I’m Linsey Nancarrow, a seasoned business innovator and sustainability strategist, working with influential companies to pioneer bold sustainability initiatives. My role involves strategizing with top executives to develop and implement practices that drive sustainable growth and foster a culture of environmental stewardship.

Bridging expertise across sustainability, innovation, strategy, and experience, I help clients dream up and execute cutting-edge sustainability strategies. I thrive on using design thinking to create solutions that not only meet environmental standards but also drive business success.

I also lead the Seattle chapter of Climate Designers, where I’m passionate about sharing tools and ideas from the world of design and design thinkers with our local climate community. I love speaking and teaching about the intersection of sustainability and innovation, and am fascinated by how human experience and design for behavior change can help drive adoption of climate solutions.

I’m always following the latest trends in sustainability, from global policy developments to tech innovations and social experiments. There is so much inspiration to be found in the world of climate solutions, and I love bringing this into the projects I work on. My goal is to inspire teams to embrace innovation and strive for ambitious impact, paving the way for a sustainable and thriving future.
