Send us a textThis week’s guest is Margaret To, founder of Studio SAKA, who helps scientists, educators, non-profits, entrepreneurs and government agencies better communicate social and climate solutions through film, design, and immersive experiences - in order to engage public conversations and inspire action.In 2020 Margaret did a project that changed her. It was a video series about regenerative agriculture in Hawaii. It made her rethink how she was living and she decided to start her own small vegetable plot with her nieces. At 17, she had left Hong Kong and moved to Los Angeles to study design and animation- it was freeing yet challenging, because her internal belief system wasn’t yet matching her purpose. But as her artistic sense evolved so did her consciousness. After watching the film Before The Flood by Fisher Stevens, the Climate Crisis really hit home for her and she started to look at ways that she could communicate creatively about climate solutions. After a few years working as a freelancer she decided to create her own film studio. But first she joined a women's entrepreneurship class so that she approached her business Studio SAKA with a business head.Now she does design, animation, and creative direction at Studio SAKA, all with the environment, sustainability and climate solutions front of mind. Over time she has become someone who is able to embrace fear, not letting fear hinder her but rather turning fear into a drive and motivation to keep moving forward. Thanks so much Margaret for channelling your creativity for climate change and helping others see how they can make a difference too. Thanks also for showing us that wherever we’re at we can all make the incremental changes that are needed to help save our planet.
