I am thrilled to share the incredible success of the WOVEN Symposium, a powerful collaboration with The 5 Gyres Institute focused on building a roadmap to tackle microfiber pollution. This two-day event addressed the urgent and widespread issue of microfiber pollution, which poses significant threats to both environmental and human health. Despite the existing gaps in science and research, and the hurdles to implementing known solutions, the symposium brought together the best minds across industries – from science to supply chain, materials design to filtration technology, research to reuse. We also brought HATCH Provocateurs to disrupt traditional thinking. Together, we developed a collective vision for reducing microfiber pollution from textiles.  And…we had fun along the way! A huge thank you to all the speakers, participants, and organizers who made this event possible. Special thanks to the 5 Gyres team for their unwavering dedication and partnership. Your expertise and commitment to combating microfiber pollution are truly inspiring. Let's continue our journey towards a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable world.

I'm still buzzing with inspiration and gratitude after the phenomenal HATCH Arcosanti Summit that took place last week. It was a gathering like no other, bringing together passionate individuals from around the globe to delve into critical topics shaping our world today. First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended. Your energy, dedication, and commitment to positive change made this event truly remarkable. It was an honor to share this experience with each and every one of you. Hosting HATCH in Prescott, Arizona, holds special significance for me. Seeing my community come alive with the spirit of innovation, collaboration, and activism was incredibly meaningful. It's a testament to the power of bringing diverse voices together and sparking dialogue that transcends geographical boundaries. Throughout the summit, we delved into a multitude of pressing issues, from climate change and environmental stewardship to the age of AI and the importance of combating misinformation. Discussions on expanding democracy for all, reimagining water and food systems, and harnessing arts and creativity as forms of activism were particularly enlightening. I'm deeply inspired by the transformative work being spearheaded by visionaries like Dr. Michael McAfee and Josh Kirschenbaum at PolicyLink. Their efforts to reimagine democracy and empower individuals to become founders of change are truly groundbreaking. And let's not forget the incredible team that came together to tackle the complex challenges surrounding water and food systems. Their innovative solutions and collaborative spirit give me hope for a more sustainable and equitable future. As we reflect on the impact of the HATCH Arcosanti Summit, let's carry forward the momentum and passion ignited during our time together. Let's continue to amplify our voices, drive meaningful change, and work tirelessly to create a better world for all. Thank you once again to everyone who made this event possible. Together, we are truly unstoppable. #HATCHArcosanti #ChangeMakers #Inspiration #CommunityImpact #Gratitude Jason Ake Amy Armstrong Skyler Badenoch Sanah Baig Barnet Bain Joel Barnes Andrea Bell Michellsey B.

I'm thrilled to announce that I’ll be a part of HATCH ’s collaboration with the The 5 Gyres Institute on their upcoming Woven Symposium at Otis College of Art and Design - June 17-18, 2024. The Woven Symposium is not just an event, it's a call to action. We're bringing together thought leaders across industries - from scientists to supply chain experts, from materials designers to filtration technologists – to tackle one of the most urgent environmental challenges of our time: microfiber pollution from textiles. Microfiber pollution is a critical issue affecting both our environment and human health. Despite the urgency, there are still gaps in research and implementation of solutions. That's why the Woven Symposium aims to bridge these gaps by convening experts from various industries HATCH’s relationship with 5 Gyres dates back to the Ocean Plastics Leadership Summit in 2019, and our team is proud to continue this partnership while addressing this important environmental challenges. This isn't just another conference. It's a gathering of minds committed to driving change. From exploring cutting-edge research to brainstorming innovative solutions, the Woven Symposium promises to be a transformative experience. Curious to learn more? Reach out to me, and let's start a conversation. I'd love to share more details and discuss how you can get involved in this initiative.  💪🌎 #WovenSymposium #MicrofiberPollution #Sustainability #HATCHexperience #5Gyres Anna Cummins Marcus Eriksen Lisa Erdle Sara Mais Andra Janieks Jennifer Sissler Yarrow Kraner Roshi Givechi Elke Govertsen Benjamin Von Wong Dave Ford Erin Simon Lori Shaffer Sian Sutherland Marci Zaroff Ashley Gill theresa [tha res za] winge [wing ee] Katrin Ley Michelle Thaller Sudeep Motupalli Rao, PhD Mary Allen Andrea Ferris Krystle Wood Rachel Labbe-Bellas Tom Gruber Otis College of Art and Design

Wow, time flies when you're having fun and making a difference. Today marks my 5-year anniversary with HATCH , and what an amazing journey it has been! Over the past half-decade, I've had the privilege of meeting some truly incredible people who have inspired and challenged me every step of the way. From event production to late-night design sessions, I've had the honor of collaborating with some of the brightest people on the planet. Together, we've tackled challenges, sparked innovation, and made a real impact. One of the best perks of working with HATCH has been the opportunity to travel the world and explore new horizons with incredible humans.
