Andrea

Hi, I’m Andrea! I spent the past few years as a software engineer at a sustainability-focused startup, but these days I’m all about real-life magic — quite literally — helping my husband run his live show in the East Village. My background is a mix of journalism, video production, events, software development, and climate-minded living. Mulch feels like a natural extension of everything I love: community, creativity, and playful transformation. I’m thrilled to be here and can’t wait to get my hands dirty.

Hey, I'm Maya! I dream of more tree cover and community gardens across all the boroughs. Through Mulch, I hope to plant seeds of connection, make some friends, and bring together all the different communities in our urban jungle. In my free time, I enjoy going line dancing, doodling my cats, and creating art with friends.

Martina

I’m Martina! I’m a climate strategist and storyteller passionate about building greener, biodiverse, and more connected cities. I’ve worked across sectors to leverage nature-based solutions and climate adaptation in cities (and am a huge native plant nerd). In my free time I love hiking, swimming, tending to gardens, and yoga!

Ian

I recently relocated (back) to New York from LA, where I was involved in various rewilding efforts- native plant nurseries, wild seed collection, and installing urban micro-forests. In a past life, I was a full-time environmental consultant, but these days I'm an enthusiastic volunteer (working in tv/film), keen to build community around plants and people (and bicycles, and food, and the list goes on...)

Vigi

Hi! I’m Vigi, a community and events strategist passionate about rewilding cities and reconnecting neighbors through shared experiences. I’m finishing my Master’s in Data Analytics & Visualization, where I’ve explored how data and storytelling can support local, place-based movements. My background spans event production, marketing, and launching early-stage start-ups—from entertainment and blockchain to civic tech. With Mulch, I’m hoping to grow a vibrant ecosystem of events, partnerships, and people who believe that rewilding starts with community.
