Profile information
Description
Hi, my name is Iona! I am from the South of England and have recently graduated from university with a degree in Graphic Design where I focused on sustainable and nature-driven design. I am an enthusiastic, adventurous, creative, and curious individual who loves spending time in nature learning through foraging, curating, and engaging, with our natural world. I am an animal lover and have always been interested in conservation. I am passionate about respecting and protecting the environment and looking for new ways to reduce my impact on the environment. I am sociable and positive, always open to learning new skills and meeting new people from other cultures and backgrounds. I want to learn more about growing produce and self-sufficient practices. I love to cook plant-based food, especially experimenting with seasonal and local produce and trying to eliminate as much food waste as possible. I enjoy staying active through running, hiking, and yoga and love water-based activities like swimming and paddle boarding.
As a recent graduate, I am seeking opportunities to connect with people and projects to develop my understanding and broaden my knowledge through new adventures. I appreciate travel and how it can open pathways and I enjoy having the ability to explore new places and identities. Being immersed and connecting with our natural world is something I am passionate about, working outdoors and engaging in hands-on work appeals to my get up-and-go attitude to life and I am not afraid of hard work!
