Board Director

Danielle is a fibre artist and founder of Earthborn Textiles, where she raises alpacas, grows dye plants, and creates hand spun, naturally dyed, and handwoven garments from their fleece. Her practice is deeply rooted in soil-to-soil systems, and it was through these processes that they found their way to the fibreshed movement.

She believes that relationships are the mycelium of our forest—an interconnected web that fosters resilience and regeneration, both in our communities and across our local landscapes. By nurturing strong relationships, Danielle works to build networks of support that strengthen the resilience of our bioregional fibre systems and the ecosystems they rely on.

A community organizer at heart, Danielle is passionate about collaborative decision-making and empowering local people to engage in grassroots processes. They’re also a self-professed nerd for closed-loop systems, decolonial not-for-profit governance, and demystifying organizational structures to make them accessible, transparent, and participatory. As a board director, Danielle brings both creative vision and a methodical approach to growing regenerative local economies and systems of shared leadership.
