🎙 Nature-inspired podcast. Life’s messy. Nature’s clever. Feral by Design is a podcast that flips the script on problem-solving. It’s not a nature doco.

Every episode takes a messy human challenge - from work politics to everyday overwhelm - and looks to the natural world for answers. Host Pia, a strategist and biomimicry practitioner, translates billions of years of nature’s R&D into smart, cheeky stories and practical strategies you can actually use. It’s not self-help. It’s the wild middle ground where biology meets your beautiful chaos.

Thanks for listening.
Honestly.

If your takeaway cup and a mussel had a baby…it’d help solve a decades-long design problem.

I wasn’t expecting that either.

Rex up on high, fully in control.
Me down below, fully about to scream and bolt to the front door.

Guess which one of us actually understands conflict.

Locked in bathrooms in India.
Front row at the catwalks of Paris.
The Sea of Tranquility…

Don’t say I never take you anywhere.

Turns out you take me places too. 😊

Thought you deserved to know. 💛
