Vice President: Lead Chaos Wrangler of Living Systems

🐾Profile: Lisa Norquist Carey

The Living Systems Architect | Primary Designer of the Mission Framework
Strategic Planner • Systems Builder • Chaos Wrangler

If you were looking for the person who makes sure the foundation is literally “alive,” you’ve found her. While others might see a stray bug or a bag of dirt, I see the high-octane fuel and the biological bedrock of our entire ecosystem. As a lead Chaos Wrangler, I manage the Living Systems teams, ensuring our specialized insect colonies are thriving and our resources are sustainable, high-quality, and properly wiggly. I also head up our Artisans and makers who turn raw materials into handcrafted gear and prestigious assets for the mission.

My expertise isn’t just academic; it’s a full-immersion lifestyle. I manage my own “Whole Kingdom” at home, shared with my family, five dogs, two bearded dragons, and my sovereign cat. On top of my leadership at the foundation, I am a highly specialized breeder of hedgehogs—because someone has to be the expert on “Pointy-Potato” husbandry. This deep, personal immersion in animal care is what makes me a no-nonsense leader for this mission. Whether I’m calibrating a biological system or directing a new craft project, I’m here to ensure every living creature in our community is treated with the prestige and expert care they deserve.
