Hippie Haven Podcast: How To Live A Harmonious Life
Today on the Hippie Haven Podcast, I’m chatting with Katie Patrick, an Australian-American environmental engineer, software designer, author, podcaster and public speaker with 20 years of experience in her field. After graduating from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology with a degree in Environmental Engineering, she worked as an environmental design engineer in Sydney on some of the world’s first platinum-LEED-certified commercial buildings. She has served on the board of Australia’s national eco label, Good Environmental Choice Australia, and won the Cosmopolitan Woman of the Year Award for entrepreneurship. Katie has been a media spokesperson on environmental issues and has been featured regularly on TV, radio and in print publications including Vogue Australia. She was CEO of the green-lifestyle magazine Green Pages Australia and was appointed environmental brand ambassador for Volkswagen, Lipton Tea and Wolfblass Wines. Today, her tech company, Hello World Labs, applies data-driven, gamification and behavior-change techniques to solve the world’s biggest environmental problems. She is the author of Detrash Your Life in 90 Days – The Art of Zero Waste Living, and she’s about to release her second book How To Save The World, which has an accompanying podcast and youtube channel by the same name. Katie is the creator of Zerowastify, an app designed to better measure municipal solid waste and Urban Canopy – a map-based application that uses spectral imaging of urban heat islands to encourage urban greening initiatives. Katie Patrick is truly a powerhouse in everything she does, and I am so honored to be interviewing her today!
