This is where I'd tell the intellectual journey:

baboon social systems → Teeming → organizations → biocultural leadership → “I could understand how living systems did this but couldn't always figure out how to do it in my own life” → Living Design → BILD.

Dr Tamsin is an evolutionary biologist known for her original research on baboon social evolution, and a leading author in the field of Biomimicry, innovation inspired by nature.

She has provided leading-edge Biomimicry innovation to a global and Fortune 100 clientele since 2012, and is the Founder of TEEM Innovation Group LLC, a company providing developmental tools and experiential education to life-minded leaders.

Her book TEEMING is regarded as the defining work on Organizational Biomimicry.

She is the Founding Director of the Biocultural Institute for Living Design, 501(c)(3), an innovative wilderness field school in the unceded Kumeyaay lands of the Southern California desert.
