The Matcha Initiative
Join us
I'm a Sustainability Consultant & Speaker, founder of Thought Partner Eco — an SME's partner in sustainability.
99% of businesses are made up of SMEs who could collectively make a huge impact in lowering the carbon footprint of the world’s economy. Yet, existing resources are more applicable to large corporations with large budgets, who have staff in sustainability roles to develop and execute on those initiatives. SMEs usually have neither. I fill this gap by providing relevant educational and strategic support at an affordable rate.
I've supported clients across industries — creative, tech, health care and fashion —on education, strategy and sustainability communications. Play-based learning workshops are available too.
Other than consulting, I'm an experienced speaker, workshop facilitator, and I have been featured in AsiaOne, CNA, The Straits Times, Eco Business and more.
Here are some topics I'm familiar with:

Any topic listed in my profile and my journey.
Growing up, I was raised to not be wasteful (mostly because things cost money). As an adult, I became aware of my consumption habits of single-use items. It dawned on me that using something for a short while and then throwing it away just didn’t make any sense.
The more I learnt, the more I had to unlearn. In 2018, I started sharing my journey and learnings on my Instagram (@thisisaudsomee) to bring people along and shift mindsets.
The impact of my work goes beyond what I do within my own consultancy.
I support my clients by:
Getting businesses to see sustainability as an opportunity instead of a cost.
Thankfully, my clients are those who have understood the "why" and not sure about the "how" — which is where I come in. I'm focusing my time and energy on supporting those who want the help, instead of trying to convert the ones who don't. In the meantime, I will continue sharing about the business case for sustainability.
I'm most proud of giving up a long-running career in the creative industry to start my own sustainability consultancy. With that, I dedicate my working hours to climate action and only take on work that aligns with my values.
