Zoe Atterbury
Zoe Atterbury is the founder of Bloom Cycle, a Brisbane-based social enterprise that transforms reclaimed materials into handcrafted trophies and recognition pieces. Her work sits at the intersection of sustainability, creativity and social impact, using design to celebrate achievements while reducing waste.
Zoe’s journey into social enterprise began after experiencing autistic burnout and a mental health crisis. Encouraged by a Lifeline crisis supporter to create something just for herself, she made her first handcrafted trophy from reclaimed timber. That moment sparked Bloom Cycle and a deeper exploration of how creativity, making and meaning can support recovery, connection and purpose.
Through Bloom Cycle, Zoe advocates for inclusive entrepreneurship and circular design, creating opportunities for neurodivergent creatives while helping organisations recognise achievement in ways that are better for people and the planet.
