Gage sees everything as a design challenge. Whether designing an object, a business, a community, or anything in between, he believes that both the process and the solution must aim to bring about a better world, for all. That’s why he founded the brand design agency, Modern Species, and the Brands for a Better World podcast – to help more just, healthy, and regenerative brands grow through purpose-driven strategy, sustainable design, and compelling storytelling. He also serves as the Creative Director of the marketing collaborative, Kindship Group, and as the Co-Chair of the Washington B Corp Collective.

Throughout his career, he’s served on numerous non-profit boards, judged various design, sustainability, and business competitions, and more recently he’s started investing in, and advising other impact-driven businesses.

Gage's design work, thought leadership, and commitment to impact have garnered countless awards, features, interviews, and speaking engagements. His passion lies at the intersection of design, business, sustainability, and food.
