Louise Armstrong

Background

In official terms I’m a part of the advisory team in Forum with links to the energy system, The Lab and with an interest in ICT, but unofficially connector and owner of all sorts of random Forum for the Future intelligence. I tend to help on Forum’s large multi-stakeholder projects, anything from Fashion Futures to the Sustainable Shipping Initiative - the more innovative and creative the better!

I thought I was destined to work in the arts sector having worked on a film festival, with illustrators and rebelling against the direction my business studies degree was taking me. But I found myself and attitudes happily in line with sustainability and accidently ended up at Forum. Now I get to work on creative sustainability projects instead – it’s turned out to be perfect combination.

What would your dream Forum project be?
An action orientated innovation project bringing together the unexpected – from artists, financiers, farmers, hardnosed business types and maybe some school kids to boot.

What floats your boat outside work?
Crafting, geeking out on all things digital/social media and a bit of urban exploration to boot
