About the Author

Drew Alcoser

A systems thinker, grounded in emotional intelligence. Using a nature-based lens to understand the uncertainty that we human-economically based fellows are experiencing. I am a Gen-X enby, transplant from Los Angeles, arriving to Portland in winter 2019. I recently moved 50 miles north to rural SW Washington. My work centers in Portland, but I also do forest advocacy work locally in Cowlitz County. My interests are visual communication; all-art, particularly visionary-- and zines, and solorpunk expressions. I love writing and finding the niche story for segmented audiences. My gifts are of the communication stack-- a convenor, digital media and branding storyteller, fundraiser, grant writer, outreach conversationalist, facilitator. I am trained as a climate advocate with a national organization. My dream is to buy a few acres of wooded land, build a passive-climate hempcrete home, install a wind turbine and solar and raise hens. I have a worm phobia, so hopefully I can support a local permaculture community with time swaps! I want to get into trail-biking. I long for the days of longboard skating, excellent L.A. sushi, and mingling with live painters after a 4am show at a dimly lit diner in Silverlake.
