Jessica Riquetti is a Regenerative Designer, Ecologist, and Educator who bridges biology and design to help others navigate a transforming world. Drawing on her PhD studies in Plant Ecology at UC Berkeley alongside decades of experience leading design innovation at global brands, she cultivates ecological literacy and gives others the agency to design regeneratively.

With roots in Scandinavia, North America, and South America, Jessica brings a natural fluency in facilitating collaboration across cultures, disciplines, and sectors. She is frequently invited to speak, teach, and lead workshops around the world, guiding people through the complex work of reimagining systems through the lens of nature.

Her approach is experiential and immersive, shaped by years of developing curriculum and leading workshops for designers, biologists, corporate teams, and curious learners alike. This teaching spans a wide range of settings—from guiding undergraduate field research at UC Berkeley, to developing project-centric design courses for Master's students at Central Saint Martins, building elementary school garden ecology programs and training corporate teams in circular design. Her current work extends this further, developing interdisciplinary workshops for research scientists and designers at Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre.

That range is grounded in deep industry experience: with a background in the performance apparel sector and a strong foundation in project management, Jessica is uniquely equipped to lead innovation design sprints that align business objectives with ecological intelligence. Drawing on hands-on knowledge of product development, material systems, and organizational dynamics, she helps teams uncover untapped potential, generate breakthrough ideas, and build regenerative strategies that are both visionary and actionable.

Ultimately, Jessica's work empowers designers, leaders, and community members with the perspective and practices needed to navigate complexity, design regeneratively, and catalyze impactful change across institutions and society. Understanding the living systems we are part of allows us to adapt to a changing world—a more powerful approach than trying to anticipate and control it.
