Stephanie Krubsack's experience began 15 years ago as an editor-in-chief for a magazine and later building personal websites and content through food and travel blogging at SK Parfait. She soon offered her services to other companies, developing marketing and branding skills to help promote a product or service. Naturally drawn to the wellness and eco realms, Stephanie wanted to create a platform to bring awareness to amazing products and services that help each of us live our best lives, while keeping the environment in mind.

She created Purevant Living as a way to provide services to businesses and programs that share the same values. Stephanie later developed two podcast series as a platform to help bring exposure to these amazing initiatives that she was discovering through clients, networking, and international travel, later merging them into one podcast series called Person & Planet.

After living abroad for extended periods of time, living in both the Czech Republic and Germany, she felt a greater need to connect and share the amazing wellness and sustainability initiatives between countries, creating international awareness. Stephanie recently launched the new international publication also called Person & Planet, available in digital and print on demand.

Stephanie is excited to share upcoming publications with you, have you on as a podcast guest, and work with you to get started in sustainability or elevate the work and reach of your existing sustainability efforts. 

As a Business Development and Communications Specialist with a profound commitment to sustainability, Eva’s career is a blend of innovative product development and strategic communication. With over 25 years in the natural materials industry, including an honor of being invited as a US delegate by the Italian Embassy to Simac and Lineapelle, their International exhibitions reserved to machinery and leather manufacturers in 2022, she cemented her role as a visionary leader in sustainable practices.

Eva’s global experience, living and working across China, Italy, Mexico, and the US, has not only enriched her cultural understanding but also enabled her to specialize in two pivotal areas: introducing sustainable and ethical products to businesses and empowering those businesses to authentically communicate their sustainability efforts. By connecting companies with high-end suppliers, she facilitated the integration of leather into premium products, always ensuring that sustainability and ethics guide these processes.

As a visionary and intuitive communicator, Eva employs empathy to navigate diverse groups, customizing her approach to meet varied needs. Her ability to forge meaningful connections has opened doors for businesses, helping them to not only expand their product lines with sustainable options for home, office decor, and promotional merchandise but also to effectively convey their commitment to sustainability to their audiences.

Eva is eager to collaborate with companies and professionals who are as passionate about making a tangible impact on the planet as she is. Whether it's through developing sustainable products or crafting compelling sustainability narratives, my goal is to support businesses in being at the forefront of ethical practices and communication.
