kari scherling

Urban Activist, Social Innovator, Venture Culturalist...I think these labels fit nicely.

I have been drawn to different communities all over the country and all over all world seeking to learn, to grow, to build and create. I have developed a passion and a nerdy obsession for creative and engaging ideas that promote more sustainable and fulfilling futures for communities and individuals.

From Portland, Oregon to New York City to small villages in China and Mongolia, I have been working as a professional, wandering like a steward and writing like it was my actual job.

I am a writer at heart, and seek to tell the stories of the people, the cities, and the communities I encounter. I am a doer that seeks to create experiences, bridge silos and pave the way for change and opportunity. I have dedicated my life to these ideas and the furious pursuit of learning, engaging, creating and changing.

This website includes the writings, projects, and experiences I have created. Even if it is only for me, it serves as a reminder that stories touch others, ideas spread, experiences inspire, and no effort is insignificant.
