About
Lori Spear Downs knows that whether you’re pivoting a global corporation or a morning routine, real change isn’t an overnight event - it’s a design process.
With over 25 years of experience as a climate and sustainability leader and environmental engineer, Lori has empowered thousands of individuals across the globe to adopt behaviors that stick. She founded Oxford Comma Press to bring that same level of intentionality to personal growth, creating journals and resources designed to help others bridge the gap between who they are and who they want to become.
A chemical engineering graduate of both Tulane and Notre Dame, Lori combines technical precision with a deep belief in human persistence. In her upcoming book, Second Nature, she explores how small, sustainable shifts in our habits create a lasting cultural ripple. Lori lives with her family in the Greater New Orleans area, where she continues to advocate for a future built on better habits and a healthier planet.
