Andrew Boyd

CO-CREATOR, CEO

Andrew is an award-winning author and long-time veteran of creative campaigns for social change. He is co-founder of Beautiful Trouble, the art-activist toolbox and global training organization; as well as the Climate Ribbon global story-sharing project. Unable to come up with his own lifelong ambition, he’s been cribbing from Milan Kundera: “to unite the utmost seriousness of question with the utmost lightness of form” — a sensibility he brings to the Climate Clock, where he serves as CEO (aka Chief Existential Officer). You can also find him at andrewboyd.com.

Born to working class parents on the West Coast, he attended Berkeley, Harvard and MIT, but still finds his home in grassroots movements. When not sketching doodles on zoom calls, he is raising two amazing young daughters.

Adrian Carpenter

CO-TECHNOLOGY OFFICER, CHIEF HACKTIVIST

Adrian is a maker of digital goods, a tech world émigré preferring to aid movements, activists, and eccentrics when possible. Where digital goods are concerned he is foremost a fluent and broadly capable software engineer, and further an [alleged] digital artist and musician. He orchestrated the re-programming of chips from across America to make possible New York City's monumental Climate Clock within the nascent project's shoestring budget.

Becca Richie

GLOBAL COMMUNITY MANAGER

Becca is Climate Clock’s Resident Gen Z/Millennial Cusp. She can't resist the power of creative organizing, which also handily serves as an antidote to her love/hate relationship with society. She joined the project during the NYC launch in September after graduating college, and quickly fused with the team’s rapidly growing global network. She deeply appreciates the wisdom, character, and much-needed audacity of the Climate Clock team and entire Climate Clock Network. She enjoys spending her time amongst small things in big places; moss on a mountain, chipmunks in a valley, flying spittle in a city, etc.

Diana Sabillón

RESEARCH SPECIALIST

Diana is a feminist biologist who is very passionate about building people power by de-elite-izing knowledge. She has also gained a lot of organizing experience resisting a narco-dictatorship in Honduras. She hopes to bring her intersectional lens to the already incredible CClock team and its global movement to keep fighting for transformative collective solutions. When she’s not feministing politics, she likes to talk about plants (especially orchids), read books, and go to the beach.

Alexa has a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in International Studies from Indiana University.

Gregory Schwedock

HEAD OF PRODUCT AND TECHNOLOGY

Greg has trained hundreds in non-violent direct action tactics. Among climate activists in NYC he’s known for spearheading direct actions involving daring climbing spectacles that spread the climate emergency message, be it scaling iconic buildings, statues, or the occasional well positioned traffic light. He played key roles in convening and guiding grassroots climate groups to pass climate emergency declarations in the first city (Hoboken, NJ), the first county (Montgomery, MD), and the largest city (NYC) to do so. Greg previously created the digital campaigns Meatlessly.org and CuomoWalkTheTalk.org. Outside of making Climate Clocks in the woodshop, you might find him playing ice hockey or pickup roller hockey in a city park--when he’s not getting into ‘good trouble’ (or training others to do so).

Raul is a proud Brazilian who brings his communications skills and diversity expertise to his work as Communications Lead at Climate Clock. Raul has a Bachelor's in Journalism and also in Audiovisual Production.

In his free time, Raul enjoys traveling around Brazil, reading black authors and watching movies.

Mae Frankeberger

FABRICATIONS COORDINATOR

Mae is a newly galvanized activist after witnessing too many terrible reports on the state of the climate. Luckily her endeavors led her to join Climate Clock during the most critical week of the year - Earth Week. Before joining the climate movement, you could find her galavanting in the entertainment scene coordinating small and large scale events and productions. She brings her organizational and time management skills to the fabrication team so we can get those clocks shipped ON TIME. Mae also enjoys her time in nature when she can get out of Brooklyn or being a cat mom at home when she can’t.
