Ieva Kontrimaite

Project Management

Ieva is skilled at balancing multiple perspectives, building psychologically safe collaboration, and keeping projects moving in fast‑changing, resource‑constrained environments. As a kick-ass mother-of-three, with experience covering banking and social services, she’s known for her calm, organised approach and her ability to bring a grounded, empathic perspective to every project she leads.

Emīl Blūm

Creative Direction

Emil is a designer who thrives on finding clarity in chaos. For the past 10+ years, he's helped NGOs, startups, and mission-driven organisations cut through complexity and communicate what actually matters. Wildly curious, obsessively experimental, and committed to working with rebellious optimists building a world his three wonderfully eccentric children will actually want to live in.

The grounding

When helping our partners build an ethically just, healthy, and cooperative world, we’re often confronting legacy systems that can drain energy and mental capacity for sustained caring. To keep ourselves sharp and energised, we make time for community gatherings, healthy food, laughter, hands-on experiments, and plenty of fresh air with our families and friends.

When schedules and stars align, we also invite our partners to join us in an informal setting to build stronger relationships and map out rebellious plans for the future impact.

Relationships

Since 2021, we have been fortunate to serve, assist, and partner with a wide range of businesses and organisations pursuing high-value missions for the common good.
