​We are Desiree Driesenaar & Mike Harps. We are ecology-economy professionals explaining Simple Complexity and Holistic Education. Implementing simple local tools. We have developed a unique design method: TIME | SPACE | ENERGY = PATTERNS ~ it is a proven method for healthy area redesigns, sciences, AI, and for LOCAL thriving.
We bring decades of experience to city/rural ecology-economy and holistic human health. Restoring ecosystems to abundance and creating climate resilience, healthy buildings, ecosystem restoration (fastest and easiest ways!), sustainability, climate adaptation, and human health with modern sciences.
DIY ~ DO IT YOURSELF is cheapest, goes fastest, and gives a wonderfully abundant life's legacy!
​
Our thinktank also hosts emeritus professors of neurosciences, trauma healing, quantum math, biomimetics mechanical engineering, AI, and more. Mike & Desiree connect dots and make it simply applicable.
Humanity in Nature Philosophy is useless if not put into daily local action and work.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Gaia Theory is the work of 2 professors we align with. James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis. Symbiotic Earth. Exponential Growth. Quantum Math.
A few examples of our projects:
​
1. Triple Helix local projects involving children for fun and harmonious designs. 2016-2017 Venlo Regionomics (growth economy, despite shrinking population). 2022-2024 Born Global, international. 2025-Greek Design
​
2. Abundant Local Resources. Rewilding, permaculture, ecological intensification. Several climate zones. 1980-2025 Biodynamic farming life. 2017 Desiree - Executive Director Ecosystem Restoration Communities. 2013 Mike pioneer "Building Paradise", food forestry and ecological off-grid building on Dutch land (80 ha by now).
​​
3. Dutch (temperate), Greek (subtropic), Indonesia (tropical) Climate Resilience - an inventory of the transition success and fail factors across continents, climate zones, and cultures.
​
Design for biodiversity. But also design for cheaper multimodal transport. Healthy, smart cities. A city is a cluster of villages.
​
Our DESIGN method works wonders for every topic and local area. Like water, we create 2 cycles. Small one (evaporation, condensation). And big one (snow, rain, groundwater, rivers in the air) for a local growth economy.
​
Our method is TIME (fill it) | SPACE (fill it!) | PLACE (local) | ENERGY (redesign patterns!).
