Sarah Macbeth is a designer, researcher, community practitioner and urban grower. She collaborates with people and places to design practices for ecologically responsible futures. She is passionate about art and design practices to support and promote planetary and human flourishing.
Her multidisciplinary, holistic and collaborative approach adds value to communication design, workshop design, facilitation, systems change work, teaching and mentoring. Using design tools and techniques, alongside community and art practices, her work generates insights, supports co-design work and communicates ideas and new narratives.
Sarah has over 25 years of experience providing design leadership for human rights, sustainable development and grassroots organisations. She thrives within a learning and collaborative work culture where quality relationships and trust create the right conditions for sustained social and environmental change. Aside from working in ethically minded cooperatives, Sarah has over 10 years of experience in place-based, sustainability work mostly through the local Transition Town group she co-founded.
In 2025, Sarah completed the Power of Place programme, exploring regenerative design practices and living systems thinking. While, on her allotment plot, she experiments with regenerative horticulture and increasing biodiversity.
