About

About Abrisham

In 2023, I graduated from Southern Cross University with a degree in environmental science. Today, I am navigating a deeply personal and professional journey that blends curiosity, reflection, and a desire to create meaningful change. My focus lies in reimagining urban public spaces through the lens of One Health—a concept integrating human, environmental, and animal well-being—while addressing pressing issues like mental health, pharmaceutical pollution, and urban ecosystem toxicity.

I’m working to develop More Sustainable Affordable Spaces (MSASpacesTM): a research-driven initiative aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 11 to design urban ecosystems that reduce harm and foster well-being. My current work centers on building knowledge around environmental adaptation, biodiversity, and human behavior change, all with the goal of creating spaces that inspire peace and resilience.

At the core of my work is a set of guiding values: to embrace the journey, question norms, transform anxiety into curiosity, and leave every place better than I found it. I strive to connect these ideals with practical solutions that honor the complexity of our shared world.

This path began in 2018 after a life-changing event that deepened my resolve to contribute to a more harmonious and supportive environment. By combining scientific inquiry with artistic vision, I aim to shape public spaces that release chronic stress and nurture moments of beauty, gratitude, and growth.

Charitable Contributions

As part of a commitment to environmental and social well-being I’ve pledged to give 5% of my post-13%-salary-sacrificed income towards charity.

I try to direct my charitable contributions evenly between social and environmental causes both locally and internationally.
