Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business is the opportunity to uplift the collective consciousness of the planet. Through Bambuddha, I’m guided by the belief that business can be a vessel for positive impact. By blending sustainability and mindfulness, I aim to remind people that what we consume influences both our personal frequency and the wellbeing of the Earth, inviting a more conscious way of living.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering that my work is part of something larger than myself. Through Bambuddha, I see business as my canvas for artistic expression, one that can inspire more conscious living through sustainability and connection. This purpose fuels my persistence—it keeps me moving forward, even through the challenges.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in producing our new line of prescription-capable bamboo glasses, including colour therapy lenses. I would also complete the product packaging with handwoven, naturally-dyed bamboo cloth cases made by a community of Indigenous Guatemalan women. Part of the funding would support marketing to expand beyond organic reach.
