Looby Macnamara founded the company in 2005 after visiting Nepal and working with suppliers on production and design.

Chris Evans has lived and worked in Nepal since 1985, co-founding the Jajarkot Permaculture Project, which successfully spread new ideas in line with existing cultural traditions. He ran the Nepal programmes for Appropriate Technology Asia from 2002 to 2008. Chris started his career as a VSO volunteer in a community forestry programme in Nepal after graduating in Forestry in the UK. Based in the remote western district of Jajarkot, he quickly realised the shortfalls of international development and so in 1988, when he came across the concept of Permaculture, he embarked on an ambitious alternative. Starting with a local friend, £500 and an acre of degraded farmland in the district centre of Jajarkot he founded a demonstration and training centre which grew organically into the Jajarkot Permaculture Programme (JPP), a diverse array of projects spanning 4 districts, 65 villages, 8 resource centres (working farms), 120 staff and volunteers, and a membership of 12,000 farmers. He stayed with the JPP until 2001 when he started to work with community groups which were spawned from the original programme. Chris is advisor to the Himalayan Permaculture Group (HPG), who work in the district of Humla, one of the remotest areas of the country of which Chris is an advisor. Beside his grass-roots experience in Nepal, Chris has taught permaculture in UK, India, U.S.A. and Mexico.

Both Looby & Chris teach permaculture in Britain with Designed Visions. See for details of their forthcoming permaculture courses.
