Hi, I’m Lara Cornell…
Hi, I’m Lara Cornell. I’m an artist, brand strategist, sustainability advocate, and two-time international best-selling author with a passion for guiding artisans, makers, and designers in building thoughtful, purpose-driven brands. With a foundation in sustainable design and biomimicry, my work blends creative vision with regenerative practices and systems thinking to help you create with integrity and impact. I believe every brand and business is an evolving expression of your values and craft. When not collaborating with clients or developing hands-on programs, I’m savoring the beauty of a slow, intentional life in Minneapolis, Minnesota with my husband and three kids.
What people are saying about The Sustainable Maker
“As an artist who is always seeking better, more sustainable ways to operate my business and studio practice, Lara’s fabulous second book ‘The Sustainable Maker’ was hugely helpful. Packed with clear information on how to structure both an environmentally and energetically sustainable business and lots of leads on how to find solutions to tricky sustainability problems that can plaque our day to day operations, this book is a gem. I highly recommend it to any artist or maker that yearns to do better for the planet in every aspect of their business but isn’t sure how to go about it.”
-Susan Nethercote, Artist at susannethercotestudio.com
“THANK GODDESS someone finally wrote this book. Sustainability isn’t a new concept for creative minds, but a framework for how to think about and execute a sustainable infrastructure, mindset, and creative brand is a sorely needed resource in the world of makers and high-craft artistic entrepreneurs. Whether you’re a frustrated creative business owner who is looking for that missing link between their mission and success......or you’re a successful entrepreneur wondering how to weave authentic sustainability into all that you do and sell, this is an invaluable place to start”
