System change designer and a futurist building regenerative narratives

Ashley Scarborough is a British Designer living and working in Berlin. She is driven by the power of design towards a future where humans and nature live in symbiosis with each other. 

Currently exploring the food system, Ashley is digging in to its knottiness and complexity. She works to understand how the fundamental models behind the industrial food system may be untangled and then shifted towards one that puts the health of the planet and people at the center.
