“Runo is a very valued member of our Toastmasters club. Her time at Google was like getting a Ph.D. in relocating people and teams, with that practical experience in what can go wrong and how it can be mitigated. An important part can be space and event planning, including finding the best space for all the different needs of the people involved.”

How can biophilic design improve industrial sustainability?
1.Balancing Function with Nature: Industrial spaces prioritize function. Biophilic design needs to seamlessly integrate greenery & natural light, without compromising core operations, safety protocols, or creating maintenance burdens. THINK: living walls that improve air quality and act as sound buffers in noisy environments. 2.Adapting to Diverse Environments: Biophilic design needs to flexibly accommodate factors like extreme hot or cold temperatures, hazardous materials, or limited access to water. THINK: Drought-tolerant plants & recycled water irrigation systems. 3.Measuring ROI: Quantifying the benefits is crucial. THINK: Clear pre- and post- implementation metrics on employee absenteeism, reduced stress, and productivity gains.
