Joanne is inspired to develop the toolkit as a product that anyone can use. She realises that the bespoke, handmade toolkit she had developed for her ecological planning work can be useful for anyone wanting to learn from each other and develop ideas together. This is a real shift, as prior to this ‘lightbulb moment’ she assumed there would only be the one kit in the world, and people would go to her to run better workshops because she had that kit. She starts to work with her father, Bill Tippett, and UMI3 to develop a product that can be manufactured.
