Melody Okiri
Environmental Resource Manager
Melody is fascinated about protecting the environment through design. This young woman has an unseen willingness to learn and enjoys interacting with communities. She loves designing the change she wants to see in the world, that’s mainly the reason why she gets up in the morning. Being part of African Circular Economy Network makes it able for her to share her drive and motivation with the world and others.
Chloe Janssens
Communication
Chloe was struck by climate change ever since Al Gore released his movie: An inconvenient truth. There’s much to say about this movie, but it surely was a catalyst for Chloe to actively step up for a more just world. Schooled as a graphic designer, she translates visions and ideas into tangible messages. However, philosophizing the issue and thinking about how to deliver the message is - next to the very practical side of design - essential to her. Working with a group of motivated people is what brings her joy. She’s curious and likes to learn new things such as fermenting, writing poetry and designing rituals.
