Regenovate
So who are we and what motivates us?
Between us we bring 30 years of experience in the fields of design thinking, sustainability, circular economy and regenerative design - which we believe are complementary.
It puts a smile on our faces when people are seeing more connections and imagining new possibilities for their growth.
