- together, we travel, journey, go on intuition where we are needed most
Désirée Driesenaar
I'm a businesswoman, educator, and wild writer. I am intuitive and practical. Since 2012, I redesign economies and ecologies. Healthy Buildings. Financials. Sustainability in cheaper ways. Not rocket science. Rather simple. Synergy. Synthesis. Valueing stranded assets.
​
Because communication is an important part of all redesigns, I will mention here that my studies have been economics, business, world cultures, languages, math, ecology, and strategic communication.
My professional experiences are wide, management-level, and international. You can find my profile here and on LinkedIn.​

Warm regards, Desiree
