Jon Earle
Storyteller + Maker: exploring resilience, sustainability and craftsmanship.
Based in the Netherlands, he draws from his experience as a carer for his daughter with profound challenges—learning to focus on possibility over limitation.
This perspective shapes his work and led to the founding of featherStrength, a campaign connecting audiences to stories of courage and renewal.
Jon discovered the great outdoors through his dedication to snowboarding in his 20s. During a bicycle adventure across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, he learned first-hand the meaning of daily sustainability as he avoided buying water in plastic bottles, reducing waste along the way.
In his 30s, after picking up a camera professionally, he began sharing his learnings and promoting sustainability—until the birth of his daughter with complex needs, when he truly discovered what a lack of sustainability meant.
featherStrength is his story of creating the courage to start again.
Jon lives with his wife and two children in the Netherlands. He is the owner of EARLEstudio and the founder of featherStrength.
