HELLO, I’M KĀVYA & I ASPIRE TO BECOME A GOOD FUTURE ANCESTOR

I design and facilitate spaces for change with organizations, movements, and people learning what it means to become good future ancestors.

Rooted in justice, joy, love, and collective liberation, my work shapes strategies and rituals that honor the transitions defining who we’re becoming.

I DESIGN THE WAY I COOK

Cooking is an act of love, nourishment, and care - and like design, it’s political.

Each ingredient is chosen with intention. My spice cupboard holds adaptive leadership, co-design, systems thinking, foresight, embodied practice, speculative fiction, storytelling, and strategic play.

I’m learning to cook like a good future ancestor: decolonizing the palate, de-centering the chef, and building power with the hands that harvest and stir alongside me.

My practice is method-agnostic, ever-evolving, adaptive, and multi-sensory. The process feeds as much as it creates.
