This month features a special Explorations profile of Bethany Williams, Fashion Designer, recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II award and sustainability consultant, as well as an activist exploring the connection between communities and social and environmental issues. Williams’ focus on urgent socio-political issues feeds into how she approaches life in the world of fashion, manufacturing garments that are sustainable both in terms of the means of production and as an economic model.

Bethany Williams, Fashion Designer: “I think the best part of creativity is the part that is unexpected, and I feel like that happens a lot when you collaborate. Because when taking two people from different fields, anything can happen.”

Exploring the sense of sight with Rick Guest

We are Accept & Proceed. Actually, we are Accept & Proceed and you. We partner with visionaries. People who hunger for radical ideas. People who like radical action. People who don’t flinch at the world we’ve been given to solve. We work with brands on beauty and change. We design with both the analytic and the aesthetic in mind. We’re actively embedding ourselves into culture. We don’t wait to create.


Endless Vital Activity is a podcast developed by creative studio Accept and Proceed, bringing you conversations to inspire radical action. Throughout this series, Accept and Proceed’s founder, David Johnston, will engage in wide-ranging conversations with radical thinkers, artists, scientists, and activists about the problems we have been given to solve, seeking new perspectives to reimagine our world. The creative studio partners with visionaries and believes the cross-pollination of minds and ideas is vital; that solutions can’t be found in isolation. Connection and collaboration are critical.
