About

Khandid
adjective (open, grounded, evolving)

A name. A lens. A way of being.

Derived from candid. Open, honest, unposed…but with a twist.

To be khandid is to meet the world with creativity, curiosity, integrity and care for humans, more-than-humans, and the place that we call home.

Hi, I’m Khandiz

A Facilitator, Regenerative Systems Designer & Multidisciplinary Artist with over 20+ years’ experience across film, sustainability, beauty and wellbeing (amongst other things).

KHANDID.STUDIO is the next evolution of my work. It follows years of learning, collaborating, and adapting across different sectors — and builds on what began as Vujà Dé Creative Solutions, where I offered general sustainability consulting for SMEs. This time, however, it’s less about traditional ESG support and more about bringing my real skills and passion to how I support teams to build more responsible, adaptive and caring organisations. Through play and creativity.

This studio is part laboratory, part workshop, part place to rest. It’s designed to help people — and the systems they shape — reconnect to what matters.

Whether through art, writing, facilitation, or nature-inspired experiences, I offer grounded, imaginative support that puts Life at the centre.

If you’re ready to explore new ways of thinking, seeing and feeling that are both practical and alive to the times we’re in, welcome.

My Journey:
Milestones and Expension

I’ve always been drawn to the hidden threads that connect things. What sits beneath the surface, what holds it all together.

My path has been anything but linear. From makeup artist to ecological systems designer, I’ve shaped a practice that blends creativity, care, and complexity. I work with individuals and teams ready to move beyond the status quo and towards a healthier, safer and brighter future for all Life!
