As If Otherwise is a research consultancy and creative studio working at the intersection of ecology, technology, and society. Our research focuses on the social and political dimensions of complex natural resource management questions and combines empirical data collection with historical and theoretical analysis. The stories we tell engender multi-perspectival understanding with a sense of style suitable to the occasion.

At As If Otherwise, we offer a variety of services for a variety of needs and try to live as variously as possible: bespoke research for non-profits, state agencies, brands, and project-specific teams, end-to-end creative production of editorial and film products, ethnography, survey design, story architecture, and strategic narrative consulting.

In this epoch of intensified local and global change, we believe interdisciplinary thinking is not just intelligent, but imperative for survival. Amist widespread environmental and media collapse, we guide our clients towards opportunity amidst the dynamic rearrangement of the elements. At As If Otherwise, “as if” means to dream of “otherwise” worlds, and ones we’d like to live in too.
