ABOUT SUMMER RAYNE OAKES

I like to design and work on creative solutions to some of our greatest environmental challenges. These are things like improving our supply chain with technology, designing more environmentally-sound products, creating entertaining media with a message, helping people eat better, and bringing back the joy of movement to a sedentary world. Then I tell inspiring stories that encourage people to pause— think, laugh a little, and even act. I sometimes do this as a masked crusader. It works- My particular specialties are as follows- Experience in building both large and small sustainably-minded businesses, initiatives and campaigns from the ground up.
