Selected Collaborators

Meet Alex.
Award-winning strategist, facilitator, and advocate for regenerative design.

After 5+ years working in sustainability, research and social business, I founded realutopia, as the umbrella of my interdisciplinary work and as a space for radical imagination.

Discontent with conventional business models that often overlook the value of unleashed creativity, design and interdisciplinarity, I took a stand to empower impact organisations, thought leaders and conscious entrepreneurs to see beyond business as usual.

Since then, I worked with 100+ visionary leaders and impact-driven teams in start-ups, corporations, media organisations, NGOs, universities, and public institutions, such as
PwC, Die ZEIT, German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and many more.

What collaborators say

  • Strategic Design & Journalism

    Alex is a brilliant, creative and energetic collaborator. She makes you feel that no problem is too big to approach and think through. To someone considering working with her, I would suggest you give your problem or topic the benefit of her sustained attention and see what happens. It is hard to imagine a situation that Alex’s creativity and expertise would not enhance considerably.

  • Impact Founder's Coaching

    We have gained more confidence in ourselves and our capacities as a team after working with Alex in a strategic design process. Working with her made us feel excited about what’s to come. Although it might at first seem that there are too many unknowns, try to lean into it. Be sure that Alex will be there to help you narrow it down and choose the best fit option when the time is ripe. Couldn’t recommend her more!

  • Workshop & Facilitation

    We had the pleasure of collaborating with Alex in a Design Thinking workshop, and we're thoroughly impressed with the cutting-edge, innovative strategies Alex employed to inspire active participation among the attendees. The opportunity to actively contribute ideas enabled us to co-create a shared vision and concept. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and we eagerly anticipate future collaborations with Alex.
