CEO & CO-FOUNDER

Aria leads Evergrove’s mission to thoughtfully design the future of death care around people and the planet first. Whilst experiencing the loss of both of her grandmothers and navigating the process of organising funerals, Aria began researching the death care system and questioning why burial and cremation remain our only widely available options. With a background in human centred design and business strategy, she has devoted her career to understanding how impact based businesses can drive social and environmental change at scale. Aria founded Evergrove to help make terramation available to Australians and is working to create the world’s first regenerative multipurpose memorial space using terramated soil. Her vision is a future where our final act gives something back to both ourselves and the Earth, creating living legacies that support the planet for millennia to come.
