about
Our Story
Founded on the basis of positive psychology, Verdant Reverie was created to pursue sustainable design while finding joy and inspiration in what can be. What does the ideal future look like? What if we aimed beyond reducing harm and actively repaired our relationships with other beings and our environment? What do we want our design legacies to be?
Mission
To reimagine product lifecycles and systems through sustainable design in pursuit of a regenerative future.
Vision
To cultivate a flourishing world where interconnectedness is celebrated, resources are respected, and abundance is ensured for generations to come.
Our Clients
We partner with companies deeply committed to taking care of people and the planet. Unlike compliance-based sustainability work that often pursues sustainable changes just to check a box for reporting purposes, we work with businesses that embrace their natural responsibility to address the climate crisis. These industry role models seek holistic improvement, from sustainable product design and material strategy to systems thinking and brand storytelling.
