Jon Earle
Resilience Explorer
Based in the Netherlands, Jon is driven to (re)build resilience through creativity.
Jon discovered the great outdoors through his dedication to snowboarding in his 20s. During a bicycle adventure through Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, he learned first-hand the meaning of daily sustainability, or lack of, as he avoided buying water in plastic bottles, reducing plastic 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.
Jon lives with his wife and two children in the Netherlands. He is the owner of EARLEstudio and the founder of featherStrength.
