Actual — Our Shared Climate Future

Actual builds tools for organizations and governments to plan climate action with precision and transparency. Partnering with the internal team at Secret Sauce, I helped design digital frameworks and facilitate partnerships that make complex climate data accessible, actionable, and deeply human.

We approached climate not as a single challenge, but as a network of interdependent systems—economic, ecological, and social. My work focused on translating technical climate models into engaging narratives that mobilize collaboration across sectors.

What He Did

  • Led workshops and co-design sessions to define the user experience and product vision for cross-sector collaboration tools

  • Developed the brand narrative and design language around “Our Shared Climate Future”

  • Facilitated partnerships between policy, tech, and sustainability stakeholders to align outcomes

  • Helped articulate a story of hope and shared accountability grounded in measurable action

Outcome

  • Advanced climate-tech communication strategies for enterprise and public-sector clients

  • Helped shape tools recognized by Time as an Invention of the Year

  • Strengthened the connection between data, design, and decision-making, empowering organizations to act collaboratively toward a sustainable future
