"Most people know what they value. Very few have someone who knows how to make those values work in real life."
After 25 years at the intersection of sustainability, food, fashion, and wellness, Justine brings a practice that does not preach, does not prescribe, and does not make you feel behind.
Currently accepting a limited number of new clients for Q3 2026
Before working with Justine, your values are a conviction.
After, they are a practice.
That is the difference between knowing and living. And that gap — between what people believe and how they actually move through the world — is exactly where Justine works.
Whether you are a brand navigating the shift to sustainable sourcing, a professional wanting to dress with integrity without starting over, or an organization ready to have an honest conversation about women's health in the workplace — Justine brings decades of relationships, research, and real-world experience to every engagement.
She has spent 7+ years inside the conversations that shape how conscious consumers think — as host of the Essential Ingredients podcast, now at more than 1.6 million downloads, including more than 75,000 last month. That audience continues to grow, and that depth of understanding is what she brings to every client, every event, every room.
The Guiding Philosophy
Good for business. Good for people. Good for the planet. These are not trade-offs. They are the only brief worth taking.

This Is for You If…
You recognize yourself in at least one of these.
You are done performing sustainability and ready to actually practice it
You run a brand, organization, or event that wants to earn trust — not just attention
You believe good for business, good for people, and good for the planet are not a trade-off
You want to dress, design your home, or source for your business in a way that reflects who you actually are
You are building a gathering, a stage, or a program and want it to mean something beyond the moment
You have the values. You just need someone who can help you build the life around them.

Interior Design & Home Sustainability
For individuals designing homes that reflect their values — built to last, not to trend
A home that compounds in beauty and meaning over time.
"The most expensive piece of furniture you ever buy is the cheap one you replace three times."
Most people know this. Very few have someone who helps them act on it.
Acquiring & Sourcing
- Investment framework: what to spend on and where to find quality at retail, consignment, or vintage
- Sourcing guide matched to your aesthetic, budget, and values
- Access to artisans and makers who build for longevity, not the trend cycle
- Guidance on when to buy new, used, or commission something made to last a lifetime
Making the Most of What You Have
- Home audit: what to keep, release, or reimagine in a new configuration
- Repurposing strategy for renovation remnants, heirloom pieces, and remnant fabrics
- New construction sourcing: specifying materials at the design stage — no waste, no regret
- The shift from decorating to designing — a home that outlasts the moment
Ready to design a home that holds its value — and its meaning?
30-min discovery call · Complimentary · Small number of clients per season
Service 03
Sustainable Events & Venue Design
For organizers, venues, corporations, and brands building gatherings that actually mean something
An event where every element confirms your story — not contradicts it.
"Most events that call themselves sustainable are not. Guests sense the disconnect — even if they cannot name it."
An event is the moment your values go public. Everything on the table either confirms your story or quietly contradicts it.
Food & Sourcing
- Direct connections to local farmers and food artisans whose story becomes part of your event's story
- Menu curation grounded in seasonality and provenance — not a generic banquet package
- Producer introductions so your team builds lasting relationships beyond one event
- Guest-facing food storytelling: menus and signage that explain what they're eating and why it matters
Environment & Design
- Tableware, linens, and florals sourced with the same intentionality as the food — no synthetic fill
- Venue recommendations with spaces whose own values align with yours
- Waste reduction planning: what happens to food, flowers, and materials after the event ends
- Access to Justine's 25-year network of sustainable event suppliers across the Bay Area and nationally

Workshops
Half-day and full-day experiences for organizations, brands, and events
