Hi there! I’m Brooke.
I’m all about creativity, climate, and learning more about what I don't know.
What I’m Good At
Being an information sponge
Translating complex topics into approachable, engaging content and writing
Thoughtful, well-researched writing that explores a strong point of view with curiosity
Crafting content and media that is education-forward, hopeful, and actionable
Exploring and synthesizing diverse creative practices such as sewing, painting, illustration, and creative writing
Questions I’m Asking
What do we owe each other?
What role can art play in social change? How can we integrate art into our everyday experiences?
How can we communicate more effectively about the changes we need to make and invite more people into conversations and participation (climate, sustainable fashion, community organizing)?
What can we do with all of the clothing excess that currently have no viable disposal routes at scale?

“You stand before beginnings. I would like to beg of you, dear friend, as well as I can, to have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day. Perhaps you are indeed carrying within yourself the potential to visualize, to design, and to create for yourself an utterly satisfying, joyful, and pure lifestyle. Discipline yourself to attain it, but accept that which comes to you with deep trust, and as long as it comes from your own will, from your own inner need, accept it, and do not hate anything.”
