“It is only natural to change our idea of nature”

As a sustainability designer, Elise Marcus is developing new ways for humans to connect with each other and their surroundings. She does so within various types of projects; from creating workshops, conceptual stories, digital moving visuals to executing large projects regarding the creation of new social and environmental systems.

With her start-up Mother Earth Network, she is currently developing a communication tool for use between humans and ecology. With this idea, she won a social design award. The project is exhibited in various museums, from Eye Film Museum to Het Nieuwe Instituut. Within her work, Elise strives to create collaborations with commercial organisations, experts, research institutes and citizens. She aims to intrinsically motivate people to think along and participate in creating new sustainable systems.

📣 Elise is one of the speakers of the Next Nature Academy.
