Speaking for a Reviving Planet 🌱
I help organizations tell their stories and design content to restore ecosystems, serve communities, and advance well-being.
Kevin Flinn
I’m a professional communicator and content leader and who has directed public relations, UX content, and campaign development across healthcare, government, defense, and nonprofit sectors.
My work includes shaping strategic communications and content systems for multinational operations, building digital products across cross-functional teams, and aligning strategic content across multiple, complex platforms. I focus my work on ecological and community-focused efforts, such as regenerative agriculture, conservation, sustainability, service, and public well-being.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, reading, grappling, and cultivating a food forest at home. Ask me about Rousseau’s Social Contract or the time I hitchhiked halfway across the country.

Why I do It
→
Why I do It →
I live in alignment with the work I support:
Local, organic food sourced from small, regenerative farmers (no food purchased from a restaurant in 3+ years and a grocery store in 2+ years)
Zero food waste household (compost)
Support sustainable practices, not destructive ones
Ethical consumerism, such as avoiding plastics and environmental toxins, waste reuse (growing every day with my partner, Jess)
Growing a nascent food forest
Sharing and learning new ways to work out of unsustainable systems
How we communicate reflects the systems we’re born into. And the systems we build should reflect the world we want to live in.
Highlights
→ Successful international digital campaign through 10-country Navy deployment
→ Built multinational, cross-functional team operations across silos
→ Created multi-regional Public Affairs Guidance for crisis communications
