Katie Treggiden, Defiant Hope

Katie Treggiden lost faith in a positive solution to the environmental crisis, but found her way back to a sense of ‘defiant hope’. A designer, author, speaker and podcaster, she connects the worlds of craft and commerce, inspiring and educating teams to tackle global challenges through design.

Katie is a phenomenal keynote speaker and in-demand event host at global events addressing design, craft, the environment and the economy.

With more than 20 years’ experience in the creative industries, Katie regularly contributes to publications such as The Guardian, The Observer, Crafts Magazine, Dezeen and Stir. She is currently exploring the question ‘can craft save the world?’ through her sixth book, Broken: Mending & Repair in a Throwaway World, and podcast, Circular with Katie Treggiden.
