+ SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT FOR A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Recycled, 100% organic, biodegradable, and with fully-traceable supply chains. Researching sustainable materials and a local, ethical approach that respects both labour and planet. Sustainable means lightening the resource load on the planet; reducing pollution; paying workers fairly and decent labour conditions. Where possible, my work will always use fully-traceable supply chains and the most ecological material solutions available at the time.

+CREATIVE FACILITATION

From the start of a creative process I work with co-design principles for full participation and collaboration in design. I have a suite of creative collaboration methods to listen to the user and develop creative solutions based on universality, practicality and aesthetics. Where time allows, I will facilitate engaging co-design sessions with the whole team to enable bigger, bolder ideas to emerge and wow audiences.

+REUSE, RECYCLE, REPAIR

My practice is informed by a desire to tackle the inescapable reality of resource extraction and its devastating impact on nature. I am informed by questions of how we might use design to recreate, reinvent our destructive relationship to nature; challenge design’s relationship to capital that props-up the status-quo; intervene in destructive supply chains; and create eco-logical design solutions to furnish the desperately-necessary circular, steady-state economy. In practical terms, this means researching and applying the best material and fabrication solutions available at the time that cause no harm to people or planet.
