Andrea Hiott is a philosopher and the founder of Making Ways, a private educational consulting platform that works with individuals, businesses and organizations towards looking into the guiding philosophies at the heart of our lives and actions.

She collaborates with a diverse set of thinkers and creators at the intersection of cognitive systems and philosophy, taking phenomenological and ecological approaches to intelligence and mobility, forging embodied paths beyond traditional scales.

She is the author of various books, including Thinking Small. She has advanced degrees in philosophy and neuroscience and has long worked on issues of motoring and mobility as a consultant, writer, and ghostwriter. She is currently part of the Philosophy and Phenomenology Faculty at Heidelberg Universität where she is completing her doctorate which is called Ecological Orientation.

Andrea is in numerous films and television shows such as The Bug and Cars that Changed the World.

Andrea has worked extensively for numerous museums, artists, collectors, and agencies. She is also developing the framework of Waymaking and the practice of Navigability and is dedicated to empowering individuals, audiences and organizations to notice and build philosophical perspectives towards better personal & collective goals.

Andrea has written about, and worked in, many diverse environments, from the Peace Corps to the transportation sector to university classrooms to neuroscience foundations and technology labs.

This experience and perspective allows her to expand traditional definitions of landscape and delve into human movement and transportive technology at scales beyond just the geographic. Just as importantly, however, it allows her to discuss and work towards a better understanding of how movement affects mental, emotional and imagined space.

Part of this work is conversational. Andrea hosts podcasts such as Love & Philosophy and Desirable Unknown, a show about how we can move into a more desirable future quadrant through the various areas of our societies."
