The Edible Nest Studio specializes in Sustainable Artistic and Culinary Practices and Whole Systems Circular Design through a vertically integrated research-based studio and instructional practice. Integrating environmental, social, economic and educational concerns into an understanding and practice based on implementing sustainability, resilience, and low-to-no impact design solutions, the studio is constantly evolving.
Edible Nest Studio focuses on informed and proven design solutions that effectively approach many twenty-first century challenges such as food access, local small business and farm promotion, regenerative practices and economy, artistic implementation in policy and planning, community and cultural resilience, nature-based-solutions, and participatory education and individualized mentorship.
Practicing as well as preaching, the studio’s methods are integrated into its framework and continually tested and expanded through research, experimentation, and collaboration. Both artistic and culinary practice are a namesake of the studio, which continually provides resources, products, and works while orienting itself toward community building and effective impact.

The Lifespans Recipes project is an ongoing documentation of the studio in blog form. Beyond simple documentation of practice, it includes creative writing, photographs, illustrations, recipes, and activities. This allows the studio to be remotely accessible through interactive and educational resources. These resources are informed by the studio’s continual research-driven practice and include many historical and innovative methods to approach both culinary and artistic materials. In fact, the project is formatted by ingredient or material type in order to differentiate and explore the unique contributions and elements of each resource. As a continually growing info-narrative there is always something to discover and learn amongst Lifespans’ pages.
